    Alright, so I am sure some of you guys have come around to the problem of the driver side emergency brake cable being to short after applying a lift to your trucks...

    I am looking for any way to extend the driver side cable or passenger that allows me to connect the driver side to the bracket on the passanger side cable.

    I am looking for an alternative then having to redo them or add. I have a feeling this is going to be the option i have to do but just seeing if anyone got around it by not redoing the cables.

    Thanks!

    Tyler pretty much answered it. If it's bothering you that much see how much a shop could possibly make you one for if no one sells a longer one. I'm sure one of the companies selling the lift components have engineered a solution to the problem...or I would at least HOPE they have.

    Yeah I was recommended to go to a shop to extend it, its no matter to me until the summer comes around. I just rather have the extra protection of the e brake for when the boat is hooked up on the trailor and when i take it up to the snow next winter as alot of resorts have hill parking and such. Thanks for the input guys.
