Exhaust Brake Question

How are you actuating your brake?

Are you using a dash switch and a accelerator pedal switch?
Or a manual control on the shifter? Or maybe both? I like the idea of having both.

I am getting ready to install a PacBrake, 60lb springs and a 4" exhaust system.

So I am trying to get all of this figured out ahead of time!

As you see below my truck is a 12V 5-speed standard shift.
