The rear axle seal on my friend's 4Runner is leaking and gumming up the rear brake parts making them stick at times.
I'd take a look at them for sure. I appreciate my 4Runner coming to a stop when necessary, that's why I recently rebuilt the rear brakes; new wheel cylinders, brake shoes and hardware and new drums. Less than $150.

lol, ok, just check'n; if you lowered it it'll throw the LSPV off and apply too much brake pressure to the rear wheels if you didn't readjust it; it does the exact opposite when you raise the truck, it'll provide less pressure to the rear brakes...
