Brake bias adjusting after lift

Ok so my rear rim to fender distance is about 14". That's about 2" more than I would say it was stock. Logic would say to simply make a 2" bracket to relocate the biasing arm to where it was stock. Well here's what's weird and I'll use pics to narrate.

Here is the biasing arm on the axle...

Here it is at the end of its up travel...

Right now at full axle compression that arm is near the exhaust and probably flexing the arm just a bit.

If I relocate that arm up 2" it will definitely max out the LSPV right away and flex that arm 2" or more (after the LSPV tops out) as the axle reaches its compression limits. That just seems odd to me. Any thoughts?
