Hey, good idea using a bolt. Just out of curiosity did your lift kit

to be extended?

Re: Body lift installed today. - with pictures
Ok, so what am I missing?
How does a body lift mess with the e-brake cable droop? The length,
maybe, but that is why there is that adjusting bolt in the middle. From
there back the droop is by the length of the cable case. That goes from
the frame to the back plate.
Now putting a spring lift on, then you have to be careful.

I noticed that as I jacked the body up off of the frame that the
e-brake cable became tight. It was obvious why, since it's attached
to the body and to the frame. I just loosened up the adjustment nuts
so it wouldn't interfere. It may be as easy as readjusting those nuts
now that the lift is in place. I haven't looked at it yet. I didn't
drive the Jeep to work today because I hadn't fixed the gas tank
filler hose thingie and didn't wanna slosh gas everywhere. I have a
4-day-weekend coming up and I plan on working with the e-brake cable
then. Hopefully just adjusting it will be all that's needed.

I noticed that as I jacked the body up off of the frame that the
e-brake cable became tight. It was obvious why, since it's attached
to the body and to the frame. I just loosened up the adjustment nuts
so it wouldn't interfere. It may be as easy as readjusting those nuts
now that the lift is in place. I haven't looked at it yet. I didn't
drive the Jeep to work today because I hadn't fixed the gas tank
filler hose thingie and didn't wanna slosh gas everywhere. I have a
4-day-weekend coming up and I plan on working with the e-brake cable
then. Hopefully just adjusting it will be all that's needed.

LOL!
Just a note for you, condensation will soon kill that piece of exhaust
pipe. Find a plumber and get a chunk of copper drain pipe, it will last
longer. Even a couple plumbing fittings would work, you can get 2" long
coupling or a male female one to solder together with a coupling to get
longer.
Stainless exhaust pipe would work too.
