Default New dana 60 axles e brake question?

Has anyone else installed the new Dana 60 bolt in axles. Everything works great but will not accept
the e brake cables, they are about foot plus to short. Also the factory Dana 44 has two plugs on the differential. The new new axle only has connection for the e-locker, what is the other one for?

The vertical plug engages the locker, the horizontal plug is for the locker sensor on a d44.

Yep, you only need one locker plug.

Mopar has an e-brake cable kit for the new 60s. See part numbers below for brake upgrades and cables. Highly recommend the new master cylinder and booster.

2 door or 4? If you have a 2 door, you can use a factory unlimited cable to get the extra length you need

Quality is great, everything bolted right in no problem. I do not know how to post pics. I installed Metalcloak 3.5 Gamechanger lift with their Six pack shocks.

Nice setup. I ran that lift this past year. A couple tips on the shocks: refill the nitrogen every few months (trust me, they'll need it), and if you plan to wheel anything other than flat trails, buy some spare schrader nitrogen fill valves. Seems like I would bust the bottom valve on a rear shock every other time I was wheeling. I'd hit it on a rock, valve snaps, and the nitrogen leaks out. You don't want to drive it that way. I kept spares with me. Obviously, you'll want to buy a nitrogen kit. Last piece of advice - keep a spare stock rear shock with you when you wheel. If a rear shock does go out, you can swap the stock one in to get you home. Drive on a blown 6pak and you'll damage the internals. Ask me how I know

I see you're in Fort Worth...I'm in North Richland Hills. Any chance I could check em' out one day this month? If you want you can PM me. I'm trying to decide whether to go with these or ProRocks.
