    A persons Screenshot_2016-02-28-09-06-43.jpg build thread is not the place to debate with urself if that mod is good or not. If you dont like it look at someone elses build.

    Lighten up there...
    Not bashing at all... just wanted your perspective on the 'mod' and how you feel it is an improvement.

    Not to change the subject but, how do you like those brake lines?

    Thanks.

    I have only installed the rear line, it cleared at full drop. Fittings and construction are quality. It made a difference but I need to adjust my LSPV and add more rear brake. The flange fitting on the top is a pita.

    I am doing the Tundra upgrade for front brakes so I am waiting to install the lines.

    I just hope the fitting are correct on the caliper end for the new brakes.

    Just a suggestion,
    Before you fiddle with the LSPV, take an angle finder... set it on the rod between the valve and the pivot point on the axle. Write it down. If you have your new leaf pack & shocks installed, too late to do this.
    I didn't realize it till after the fact.
    I ended up measuring a buddies stock truck for the OEM angle... I set mine back to the stock angle, works bitchin' now.

    As for the Tundra brakes, I had to carefully bevel the inside of each banjo at the caliper connection point. Be sure to do that as the Tundra caliper has a small nub in there which keeps it from seating correctly.

    Good luck.

    Great suggestion but I already installed leafs and fabbed/installed a new braket. I just need to adjust the nut a little on the arm.


    What was the stock angle?
