Parking brake cables

When I purchased my truck there were no parking brake cables installed. I have a queston on routing the new cables. When the cables exit the brake back plate do they go over are under the leaf spring before turning foward? I cannot see enough detail on any of the drawing to tell. Pictures of routing would be nice.

Yes it does. Looks to me that it is ruuning under the spring. Thanks

Being I already took the picks.. 🤣

I ran new ones, but in the same path as I found them.

Re: Parking brake cables

That is exactly what I was needing! The truck had a wore out 8.8 rear end in it when I bought it. I swapped it out for a 9 inch. Some where back in time some one had cut the parking brake cables. Still have the brackets and clamps.
