Message: Perpetrate hooked me up with some add a leafs that we installed last night. Man is that a great thing! I got 2" more height in the back that will prolly sag to 1.5". When he was installing them we noticed the brake line was already tight at full drop.
What has been done or used to extend the e-brake cable to the left rear tire?
I also added 2 6" PIAA 520 light centered on top of the bumper just inside the outer edge of the grill. They have chrome grill on the lights and it blends well with the grey bumper and chrome hood grill.
I will get some pictures up once I put my MT's back on next week.

Message: Thanks for the input as I hope it is accurate for the Leaf not saggin. I had been debating on if I should do body lift but I REALLY do not like the look of it. I ony wanted about 2" more of lift and I got it here. So I hope it does not sag. I still can crank my heavier duty torsion bars 8 more turns before I get to max. The cranking I did last night helped a lot.
I may have a solution but I have not started the ball rolling on that yet.
I hope someone already has a solution that is easy.

Message: Sorry I did not get these up earlier. Here is how I handled it.
For $7.00 I got the E-brake braket from suspension connection. Oh yeah for those who dont know it is a bracket for the Tuff Country 5.5 lift for the 97-99's.
You could easily make this bracket. All you need to know is how big to drill the hole for the cable.
We used the already there frame bolt, bent the the braket since it was flat. We had to loosen the E-brake cable at the adjuster mid way under the truck to get the cable disconnected at the back connection. The toughest part was getting the bolt out since the gas tank was there and it was a locking nut. To get it back on Craig used a zip tie to hold the nut on some 90 degree needle nose so it would be easier to tighten up. Having it up on a shop lift made it easy. Doing it on your back could be tough.
The relocation like I did has plenty of travel and the cable is not even close to being tight at full drop / articulation.
