Ok, so I have been searching for quite a while now, but I can't seem to find out what I am looking for.

I raised my truck 4-4.5" over stock, and I know I need a LSPV bracket, so I made one, however when I put it on, the rod is all the way up on the LSPV. To my understanding that is sending pressure to the rear brakes as it "seeks" weight in the rear.

So do I just need to bend the rod with the bracket so that the rod sits all the way down so when weight is added it raises up, or just leave it alone? I didn't notice anything changing with the breaks after the lift.

I am asking because after doing all this research, it got me curious.

Thanks.

 

Was it all suspension lift? If yes, just lift it by the amount that you lifted the truck. Or zip tie it to that bar spanning the frame rails. Or go to a manual PV. Or bend it. I would guess you would want it near the bottom when empty and near the middle/top when loaded (don't want to damage something when loaded and hitting bumps)

 

I find that the LSPV works decent when it is just below "fully up":

So you can usually adjust or bend the sensing rod or move your bracket holes down a little bit. I found that with the rod all the way up, you find the rear tires will lock up before the fronts. Easy way to test out the adjustment is to find an empty parking lot. Then you can go out and do some panic stops and feel for which axle is locking up first when you are hard on the brakes. Ideally you want the front end to lock up just before the rear.

I did it to my 88. And I have to still do it to my 94. Not that hard....

 

But why fix what ain't broke?
