I have searched around and haven't come up with anything about this so here we go.

I just finished installing the 4" rear trail gear springs in my truck, and i'm noticing that there is not enough clearance for the e-brake cables.

My thought was to just extend the arm and all the brackets an inch or so, but before i dive into this, i'm wondering what other people are doing about this?

 

you could, if money allows...buy a bid built crossmember with a built n T-case ebrake, i think they just sell the t-case ebrake kit by itself, its what ive seen mostly done...and what yr truck is this on? ive got a pretty high lift on my truck and i dont have any issues with the ebrake?

 

I thought about a t-case brake, but i will be installing dual cases down the road and probably rear discs and was planning on doing it all at once.

The truck is a 92 toyota pickup. Do you have lift blocks in the rear? A buddy has a 93 with lift blocks in the rear so the cable goes under the leaf and its not an issue.

 

That is what I did on my '85:

Lowered cable clamps along the frame, raised pivot point:




and also extended the e-brake levers to clear the taller springs:

yeah ive got a combo of both, ive read on another thread of a guy routing the cable back through the firewall and it pulls the brake itself, with a switch to shutoff the break lights kinda nifty

 

i run a 5" in trail gear rear, i just unbolted the frame clampos and the clamps that were on the old 4link bars and have had no problems with the cables dangling

 

I run 4crawler's extensions (had to trim and re-drill to clear the rims) and removed the bolt on the last cable to frame clamp. I didn't have to raise the pivot point.

 

whoa just looked at the pics, your axle ebrake is way different than my runner, please disregard what i daid earlier
