where can I get a Longer Brake cable?
I had lifted my 02 4runner 3" with the toytech ultimate lift kit. put new tires on it and long story short I need to lift the back more with some 1.5" spacers. now I had read on here a long while ago that changing out the brake cable for a longer one is a good idea to allow for a more comfortable rear articulation.
I looked on here for about 3 hours trying to find anything on extended brake cables. and nothing. Anyone out there have any advice on where I can pick up a longer cable? also is that the only thing I need to consider when lifting the rear, i guess are there any other cables I need to worry about?

I believe he is talking about the parking brake cable. If I am mistaken please correct me. However, I would also like to get longer cables as well for my parking brake. So any info is helpful.

okay now here is where I am confused. THe guy at autozone called it a brake cable. And as far as getting a longer one, he wasn't sure. Here is a Pick of what im talking about (Lines B and C). Line A is the parking brake cable. What are the Lines A and B called?
now thinking about it am I going to need a longer parking brake cable too?

The hardlines should be fine, as they move with the rear axle, what you need a longer one of is the brake HOSE, which runs from the chassis to the rear axle, it's the soft brake line.
I'd have to run outside and look to be sure, but I THINK there's only one brake hose for the rear brakes (same ABS channel, splits at the rear axle and goes to each drum), and as you lift your truck that flexible hose needs to be longer so it doesn't get pulled and broken.

I believe item B is a wheel speed sensor if I am not mistaken. trail-gear.com should have a longer brake hoses. As far as the parking brake cable, I'm not sure about your application if you will need it or not.
