Default AEV spacer install on 2014 Rubicon Unlimited

Hi,

I just started the install of an AEV spacer kit and followed the instructions. When I drop the rear axle, the e-brake cables are tight before the spacer is loose enough to install, so I am wondering if I remove the e-brake cable bracket and then reinstall it without spacing it out if it will pull the cable housing tight at full extension.

Has anybody run into this problem? I would call AEV but of course it is the weekend

Thanks

you need to detach the e brake bracket so the ebrake hangs loose to install but then reattach.. It does not pull tight once the lift is installed at full droop or at least mine does not but the actual hydraulic line does in fact need a bracket extension or it gets too tight when fully sagged.
