    Source for extended parking brake hose?

    I just lifted my '84 Waggy with a 4" leaf spring kit from Rustys (with help from you guys, thanks!). Now, my e-brake cables are MAXED. I cant see any articulation happening this way.

    I cant seem to find extended lines anywhere. Am I just missing something? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    you don't need extended lines, the kit should of come with a small bracket to change the location of where the line is mounted to the frame. It just relocates, instead of lengthens

      I know it's not an answer to your question, but I had the same problem and couldn't find any lines either, so I just relocated the brackets that hold the cables back a few inches. I sorta hacked it 'cause I was in a hurry but you could do a nice job fairly easily by making new brackets and welding them up nice. That's what I plan to do later.
      Best of luck.

        Thanks James-it didnt come with it, but apparently it should have. I will call in the morning and get them. I'm assuming I need two-one for each side?

          you sure do, small piece. Two z shaped metal brackets if I remember correctly, they should take care of you

              Pretty sure the front section of the e-brake cable system is the same between wags/trucks. Just use the aft section for a j-truck (longer wheelbase/longer cable).

                Great advice Joe. I'm nervous with the welder (not enough experience), and that close to the outside of the body makes me nervous.

                I want to do all the work myself, and I sure would hate to blow a hole through the side!

                $40 for both seems like a good investment to me.
