Emergency Brake Cable Fix for Lifted XJ
For those with a 5" or greater lift interested in replacing their short e-brake cables. If your lift is greater than 5", the e- brake cable will bind during axle droop. The problem on the passenger side is even worse because the cable passes over the top of the muffler and pulls down on the muffler with a small amount of droop. To fix the problem, install Wrangler e-brake cables.
