Emergency brake

[78Suburban]

Not that it has really seemed to work lately (I think my 14ff drums are holding some mud ), but can the parking brake be kept with 5" of lift? Is there enough play in it to adjust it? or should I just cut it, and hope my parking pawl in the tranny keeps on surviving?

I kept mine with 6". I ground the rivets that hold the little bracket that holds the line next to the front spring hanger and put a 1.5" long tube spacer dropping it from the frame. Pretty easy job.

You should have the same ebrake setup as you have a 79.
