Lift kit tightened up brakes till they lock
My 93 Marathon brakes lock up easily now that I put a 5" lift on it. Especially when it rains. I found a video of a guy with the same problem, he said it's because the brake cable is pulled tight. He cut off the hanger/bracket and welded it a few inches toward the rear. I don't have the ability to weld so I was wondering if anyone had other ideas? I also heard the rear axle may be turning some in the u-bolts when braking and that's pulling the cable tight. I'll snug those up tomorrow if they need it... Thoughts?

Re: Lift kit tightened up brakes till they lock
My 15 TXT was doing the same thing. Not sure what size lift is on it but my dealer sent me these adapters that go between the brake cable end and the bracket and it doesn't lock up anymore. They're basically a brake cable/line extender.

I removed my cables from the hanger and used cable ties to hold them.

Get 2 new passenger side cables, use passenger side cables on both sides, thats the fix.

Anyone have a picture or link for the brake cable extender? May need some for my 13 and 14 EZGO TXT's.
