Default E-brake cables

Need to know of a supplier of e-brake cables. Preferrable for lifted XJ's

I have a 94 that uses 3 cables (1) front-attaches to brake lever and (2) rears that go to each drum.

Since the 3-3.5 lift..these cables are a bit extended.
AND state inspection is due next month...need these fixed.

Is there anyone that makes a longer brake cable?
-OR-
Is there another Jeep application that will work/fit?

--->>I need NO replies..."Just do without the e-Brake."
This is a DD and needs to pass state inspection.

It's either the YJ or TJ passengers side cables that will work on the XJ's and are longer because it has a foot ebrake pedal..I'll find the writeup and post a link..

Yeah KTM is right two YJ passenger side cables will work for a 3-5" lift but higher may be tight. You know if there is a longer set than that KTM?

Ya the napa by me is far and very small and has a-holes working there. I used to work at Advance Auto Parts as a side job and I can go in there and do whatever I want.

the YJ is the older wrangler not grand cherokee.. I think 96 and older is the YJ's but could be wrong.

DUH

I can only remember ONE Jeep model designation...the MOST IMPORTANT one.

But yes, YJ- Wrangler production date 1987 until March 1996
May of 96 Started the TJ right up to 2006.

So to recap:
1987-95 WRANGLER Passenger's side e-brake cable.

Did I get it right?
