E-Brake mods

[socaljeep]

Hello everybody. So, I swapped axles under my 99 TJ for 15 Rubicon, I got long arms with triangular suspension and coilovers . I am in the process of modifying JKU E-brake cables and I have about 1 1/2 inch space for the cable return spring between the brake actuator and the bracket. I ordered springs with 20 lb spring rate and 1 inch compression hoping that it would be okay. Does anyone know maximum distance actuator can move? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Pavel
P.S. Actuator is number 11 in the picture

I'd check in on the sister TJ forum and ask MrBlaine.

I've done parking brakes on our JK and replaced the drum brakes on my TJ D35 and adjusted cables on both. Never bothered to measure distances.
