    Think mine is all the way to more braking haha Who knows though. Could be a pad difference.

    I put brand new ones on it and did the tundra upgrade and messed with the valve didn't really seem to change anything. I could never get the rears to lock up. I can't remember how much I really adjusted it though, maybe I didn't adjust it enough.

    No matter what adjust I have made this far there always seems to be alot more braking in the front.

    The way BDN and I adjusted them is chocking the front tires. Putting the truck in neutral. Raise the ass end off the ground so the tires move freely. turn the adjuster until we heard the shoes come in contact with the drum. you'll have to spin the tires to hear it. you'll hear scraching in the drum. We did that to both wheels.

    That's the right way to do it. The rear brake cylinder has like 1/2" of travel for both shoes, so if the pads aren't already pretty much touching the drum, the cylinder will stroke out before you get max contact.

    I wish it was removable so we can paint it but then may as well get a real bead lock

    The bolts are. The ring is already black so I don't care about that.
