    just cut the arm off that goes down to the axle and ziptie it all the way up, that will give you the most pressure, it's still not enough to lock up the brakes so don't worry. Or spend some cash and get a manually adjusted proportioning valve and be done with it

    It's an 89 Toyota Pickup. I got some stuff done to it.. FJ axles going under it soon.
    No Jason, I think linked is referring to he uses a aftermarket valve and has the valve up by the rails, then runs a longer line to the axle

    I have an adjustable from Beefed Taco. Probably more than needed but hey, it looks cool, works well, and he gave it to me cheap when I got my Carrier Bearing Drop.

    or make a bracket and use a heim to adjust to your liking lol. never thought of that. that is pretty much the same idea as an aftermarket non plunger controller.

    Since it not connected to the axle anymore just move it. You can move it forward and it wont change anything except the routing of lines

    Guess I wasnt thinking about modifying lines. I tend to not think about those things and leave lines as stock as I can. Well that makes it easy, just gotta make new lines. Glad I have a hookup on that stuff.

    okay so we dropped my seat pretty low so my head would be far away from the cage.

    now my steering wheel feels high as fuucckk. is there any way to lower it?

    Spacers.


    I read somewhere about a month back of someone dropping their steering column via machined spacers..just can't remember if it was on here, or Marlin Crawler.
