I put a 4” lift on my 84 4runner and now when you put on the ebrake the “drum arm” hit the leaf spring and cannot pull on the shoe ?

Any thought how to correct this ?

 

no block 4" spring all 4 corners

 

so the extra thickness of the springs is not letting the arm fully articulate?

 

Make a bracket extension. Piece of flat stock and drill some holes.

:wabbit2:

 

it dose hit the spring pack. its thicker.

the lift spring is about 3/8 - 1/2 thicker

 

How about using a transfer case brake?

 

I didn't know that. Hmm you learn something new everyday.

 

doesn't someone make an extension bracket for this?

yup or make your own like the wabbit said:

if that were the case then you'd be able to have a x-fer brake and have either a spool or maybe full locker like and ARB in the rear and be legal.

 

this is the way it's read in PA. Seems to me the x-fer brake is perfectly legal. At least in PA

Now if we are talking about line locks then no as it violates the part which states "The system shall not be designed to require a continuous or intermittent source of energy for full effectiveness after initial application."

(c) Parking Brake System - A vehicle specified
under this subchapter shall be equipped with
a parking brake system. See 75 Pa. C.S.
§4502.
(1) A parking brake system shall be ade–
quate to hold the vehicle on a surface free
from ice or snow on a 20% grade with
vehicle in neutral.
(2) The parking brakes shall be separately
actuated so that failure of any part of the
service brake actuation system will not
diminish the vehicle’s parking brake
holding capability.

§ 4502. General requirements for braking systems.
(a) Parking brakes.--Every vehicle or combination, except a
motorcycle, operated on a highway shall be equipped with a
parking brake system adequate to hold the vehicle or combination
on any grade on which it is operated, under all conditions of
loading, on a surface free of ice or snow. The system shall not
be designed to require a continuous or intermittent source of
energy for full effectiveness after initial application.
(b) Service brakes.--Every vehicle and combination operated
on a highway shall be equipped with a service brake system
adequate to control the movement of and to stop and hold the
vehicle or combination on any grade on which it is operated,
under all conditions of loading, and adequate to meet the
braking performance standards established by regulation of the
department.
(c) Breakaway systems.--Every combination operated on a
highway, the towed vehicle of which is equipped with brakes or
which has a gross weight in excess of 3,000 pounds, shall be so
equipped that, upon breakaway of the towed vehicle, the towed
vehicle shall be stopped and held automatically, and the towing
vehicle shall be capable of being stopped and held by use of its
own service braking system.
(d) Exceptions.--This section does not apply to towed
instruments of husbandry and such items or types of special
mobile equipment or commercial implements of husbandry as are
specifically exempted from compliance by regulations promulgated
by the department.

 

Land Rover Discovery has a transfer case e-brake (drum)...perfectly legal in the U.S.

 

Yep. It's a big honking drum too or at least the one on the D2 I worked on was honking!

:wabbit2:

 

^^^ i wonder if they use that large drum(i'm thinking rotating mass) to be calculated with the flywheel weight for proper engine braking/stalling?....Oh, nevermind, they aren't Japanese!

 

Well I have one, and it works so far.

 

How much is all this business ^??

 

$367 plus shipping for the allpro kit

$195.00 plus shipping for the Sky Manufacturing kit. ( I think that's what Teuf has )

 

holly crap!

 

Yes it is from Sky Man. And it was 195.00. I did paint it. The only problem was that there was no caliper when delivered, a quick call fixed that. I am happy with its function. And I am aware of the open diff issue on say a hill in snow. No snow in Napa last I saw.
