Brakes feel weird after lift kit

Spoolx · 12-30-2018, 05:07 PM

So I put my 6” lift kit on and now the brakes feel terrible.

I’ve read a bunch of threads but wanted to start one based on my specific issue.

The cables were long enough, even though I had to pull the slack through.

Before the lift, the brake would lock like at 10% stroke of the pedal, now it doesn’t get hard until like 50% but they don’t lock.

Is there any adjustment left to tighten them up?

What size tires did you put on it? Bigger tires = harder to brake

You can try adjusting them a bit more but what you have now is probably as good as you’ll get. The only way up from there is adding front discs.
