Chevy Leafs...parking brake
I'm about to get new leafs, preferably the pro comp 5.5" chevy ones...I want to run NO BLOCK and stock shackle...reason for all this non sense is because I want to have options...if I do swap an axle under the front, I can easily throw a 2" block and chevy shackle on the rear and I'm at 3-4" more lift...and thats where I want my truck. Seeing as the chevy leafs are considerably cheaper, and I could use the extra payload capacity (towing), I really want to do this swap.
My question is about the parking brake, can anyone post pictures on how they rigged that up? I'm tempted to just get the skyjacker leafs if I can't figure it out...it's just the payload and price difference that erks me...

Yea i'm looking for anything at this point...I can rig something up but if it doesn't work right I'm just going to get mad and in the end buy the skyjackers...I know skyjacker is the right way to do it...but I want the payload cap of the chevy's and I want the flexibility to be able to get more lift out of it eventually...more of a pre-planning for the future so to speak

edit: zach did you run the 5.5" procomp and chevy shackle or stock shackle?
edit again: anyone run the Pro Comp 11411 it is 4" of lift, $120 each, and I can run a chevy shackle and be right where the 5.5" spring is, but 50 dollars less a spring...i mean I'm not trying to be cheap but thats saving 100 bucks PLUS stock shackle price
