I do understand that the cable that runs a U pattern and connects to the rear brakes would obviously be longer. I'm just not a 4wd guy so I'm trying to pick up some tips.
In short, the center cable has to clear more stuff, transfer case, so the center is shorter and the one coming from the cab mounts further down the frame. Requiring it to be longer.


And yes, I second inline tube. Had no issues though with the order.
