You will need to twist the axle backward. This will loosen the drivers side cable enough to stop the "locking up" of the brakes resulting in the drivers side locking up. It is done by loosening the u-bolts ( all 8 nuts ) and tightening the forward nuts more than the rear. This will tip the axle back, loosening the brake cable. If your lift kit only has 2 nuts per side this won't work for you. The only other option is to buy a passenger brake cable and use it on the drivers side since it is longer. Both of these we do when we do lift kit installs. More of the axle tip than the cable replacement since the tipping of the axle backward fixes the issue nearly every time. Your forward u bolts will have nearly twice the amount of thread hanging below the bolt. Hope this helps.
