Thanks, Pell. Then I'll go with the highest setting. Here's hoping for the best! I'll post pics of the final set up tomorrow.

I ended up just getting a couple of steel cable ties and wrapping them around the frame and cable. Anyone else had this issue? I assume to fix it the right way, I just need to buy the entire brake cable in a longer length? My truck has a 5.5 foot bed; I wonder if I can get a cable for my same model year, just the 6.5 foot bed version?
BDS lift kits come with brackets that relocate the emer brake line on their 4" and 6" lifts. Check out their installation instructions and see if that helps.

The only thing about the highest setting is that they ride a little stiffer imo
