    Started after lift and tires or just crept up after time? Lsvp could be shot or you may just need to lift the adjustment arm a bit higher and see what happens. I know my bell cranks freeze and the shoes don't get adjusted. Realistically the 35s may just be a bit big for the drums.

    If adjusting/changing the lsvp doesn't work your gunna need hydro boost or a disc conversion. Or just deal with it as big tires change the way it handles

    pull your drums and look for any rusting or deep grooves indicating the pads and drums are making contact. maybe spray out the whole thing with some brake cleaner (just not on the pads) :notsure:

    yeah, yeah. they still have a pad of brake material :p I should have put pad in quotes

    did they bleed all the brake lines? apparently you can bleed directly from the LSPV, any fluid from it or the drums? bleed yourself to see and make sure.

    Swap the lsvp out if your sure the shoes are properly adjusted and making contact

    Thing is in the great Rust belt with the addition of liquid brine the LSPV bleeder is so rusted it either does not move or just snaps right off.

    Which happened in my first encounter with one. It snapped right off even with spraying Kroil a few times in the days before.

    Instead of pad perhaps Brake lining ??
