Rear Parking Brake Cable for 4” lift?

My parking brake cable started to fray and was causing binding. Order a new set off Brothers. Of course they are short and not for a 4x4. (Their listing didn’t specify)

Can anyone point me towards stock cables I can use? I’m just looking for the rear portion going from the drum to the connector that sits in the middle of the truck.

I see some go with Lokar but I’m not looking to replace the whole system.

Ideas?

I have an extra set of black Lokars I'm not using, can be cut down, don't know if they would work for your application since I went a different route

I can measure them, but I don't know how a factory connector looks at the center link, if you have a pic, I could confirm if these would work

I have a 14 bolt and it matters as to the connection at your brakes. I went to the junk yard and found a set off of a FURD van were long enough and had the right connections. 4 inch lift of course.

Old ones are about 48” long. Here is what the center connection looks like.
