My question is; if you're using the Caddy calipers, what E-brake cables do you use? Will they mount up using the existing bracket on the trailing arm?
Since My truck is a 4wd I didn't have trailing arms. In my case I used the stock brake cables but I had to make a little extension bracket to lenghtened the pull cable from the cab about two inches. Now that I'm using the e brake the cable is starting to stretch a little and I can see in the future I might be able to remove the extension bracket and just use the stock cable as is. Different people have different tastes (thats why we have so many flavors of ice cream) but this Blackbird kit works great for me and I LIKE the Caddy calipers.
