LOWERING BLOCKS. & Brake Bias in a 2wd Hilux.

When you use lowering blocks in a 2wd Hilux do you have to adjust or mod the link rod to the diff.

Does the bias think there is a load on and increase the rear braking ratio..

yes and yes.

b4 lowering measure the angle on the bias valve at the rear then after lowering bend the rod to match the angle you had b4 lowering.

the rod can be a bitch to bend.

depending on the hilux that you have, the connection on the rear diff has another hole near the stock mounting point for even more adjustability.

Most people, especially in 4wd circles, remove the brake LPV (load proportioning valve) in favour for a dedicated brake bias valve.

Basically, on my hilux when i owned it, i had to wind it all the way in, and move it to the other (lower) mounting hole. to stop the rear from grabbing during burnouts etc.
