Bump.
I had my leaf springs re-arched and added to- having this extra lift in the rear causes my LSPV to sense that the rear-end is picked up. I've already adjusted it all the way down, but the rear brakes are still not grabbing quite as much as they should. I know this because a good friend let me use the machine at his shop that tells you what % all of your brakes are grabbing at.
I was wondering if there was a fix for this. I don't want to remove it, but could it be modified? I'll admit I haven't done a search on here, I just saw this post and remembered the situation with mine.

My rear shoes (on my old axle) were all out of wack and i could never get them set right, turns out i just tied the LSPV "arm" up on the body and the rear worked great from then on.
That was untill i put the axle i currently have under in. This one has "good" rear breaks and its now a bit over rear biased. if its wet it locks up more easyly than you would want.
Im planning on removeing it and putting a real adujstable (thumb screw) proportioning vavle up on the frame rail by the front.
