Im assuming your talking about the LSPV rod that is attached to the axle...
But lets see....if you raise the rear 2", you might want to raise the bracket 2" to set it back to stock for maximum braking power...
In my case, its a little different cause its a pickup, but i just welded a little piece of flatbar so it was back to its closest to stock position...i say closest cause hit the ebrake line when it was exactly stock...
Good luck! alot of guys on here just use the cheapest method that is available, like plumbers tape or similar...just whatever it takes to get CLOSE TO STOCK.

yup. all you need is a bracket you can bolt in place that compensates for the amount of lift you have.
I bought some perforated steel strap, not plumber's tape, from Home Depot. I think it's 1" wide, 1/16" thick and has either 1/4 or 3/8 holes up its length. I cut it into about 6" long pieces, bolted two pieces together to make it double thickness, then cut through the ends and made it look like a tall "H" with a thick middle. That way I could slide it up or down and adjust things without dealing with the adjuster on the arm.
