I need to replace my E-Brake cables. I have roughly 5" of lift in the back. My XJ is a 96 however I swapped in a 97+ center console and changed out the E-Brake handle. So I need e-Brake cables for the 97+ years. I know YJ cables are longer than the stock XJ cables but that would be for older years where the connection is above the driveshaft. I have the connection on the side.
 
I also wasnt sure where to post this. It's not really mod tech and I'm not looking to buy off anyone. So if its not in the right spot,mods feel free to move it.
 
if you want used some people use kj cables, some re purpose explorer cables. but for 70 bucks you get cables made for the conversion for your lift. so it's worth it.
 
Whatever you do don't buy Dorman cables for anything off rockauto... I bought one for my bone stock 98 and it was a piece of shit, doesn't match OE specs, is longer/more stretched than the old one was even after it got wrapped around a log, the crimps were in the wrong places, the 3-barb retention clip at the drum brake end literally fell off the end of the cable when I tried to install it, etc. e-brake still doesn't work, it worked perfectly before I ripped the old cable in half. I'm throwing another brand's cables on next time I order.
