What did you guys do to make your e-brake work. My cables are barely long enough and I think I might break something if i flex.

There is a relocation bracket out there. I forget who makes it, hopefully someone will jump in and say the name of it.

Good luck on that one. Since my Dynatracs were installed I have not had an e-brake. the oem cables would not completly release causing the whole wheel assembly to get very hot. I'm looking into rigging something up myself using some aircraft cable that's available at my local hardware store.

I would think something like that should come with the lift kit itself

I was thinking I could build a bracket that would drop the oem bracked down at an angle. I am handy with my welder but I don't like to reinvent the wheel. So if anyone has an idea.......

Hmm, I need to do some work on my E-Brake anyway. Does anybody have a picture of exactly where it is located and know how to adjust it? Basically, since I've put on my 2" BB my E-Brake no longer holds on steep inclines. Thought maybe it just needed to be adjusted from wear but maybe the lift is affecting it?

Thanks.

dont have any pics, but if you follow the lines they come to a point where you can adjust them make it tighter or looser.

I got teraflex ones, but i just put in an 8.8 so they are for the conversion. dont know if they make them for the d35-d44
