Brake bias valve and lifts

Post by 77F1004WD »

I have a 88 GQ wagon, and i'm about to put a 2-3" lift into it.
Looking under the rear, it has a load sensing valve, that adjusts the amount of brake bais depending on ride height, now if i go and put a 2-3" lift into it, will it think that there is no load on the rear and make the front brakes do all the work? Or is there a bracket you can get that moves the whole assy up?
Thanks in advance.

the spring from the load sensing valve is mounted to the diff housing.
Just move it up as much as the lift to get it right, with a bracket.

Here is a pic of my truck, with 6" lift, and you can see the alloy bracket.

Hrmmm....

I used to have a '89 GQ, with the small front brakes, and now I have a newer GQ with the bigger front brakes. I can't really tell much difference. My adjuster has not been moved to compensate for the lift though. Maybe there is a bit left in the brakes. I might try and move it this weekend!
