Don't lift your 80 series until you watch this....

- This video explains how lifting your vehicle can impact your braking and also explains how the load sensing proportional valve works. This video also pertains to Toyota Pickups and 4 Runners from the same era.
Your LSPV isn't a problem if you don't have an LSPV 😉
Great video. This is a step that MOST people miss unfortunately. It's a huge safety risk as well. I hope more people watch this video and address the LSPV relocation or adjustment. Keep the videos coming!
There is a bracket you can buy and fit it which then alleviates all of the adjusting you are doing.. Here in Australia, it is a requirement and law that any lifted vehicle over 50mm/2" has to have this bracket fitted or it will NOT pass a roadworthy for registration.
Tim, thank you for the comment. This is why I love UA-cam and our 80 series community. You can learn something new everyday
I will definitely have to do this adjustment. Have had my 80 lifted for about 3 years now. And have never touched that valve.
I have a 2” lift, am I supposed to lower the valve to increase pressure to the front? Is that the desired outcome?
@CruisinMiles the best way to adjust for brake bias is to either buy the gauge I used at the end of the video or go to a good brake shop. The thing I noticed what may seem like a small adjustment has very big differences when it comes to bias. That’s why a proper gauge is very important.
Huge help thanks man!
Thank you very much for the comment
I just picked up an lx450 it has a 2.5” lift the breaks do feel like they need more stopping power, I’ll have to see if this was something they missed,
Good content by the way
Took my LSPV completely out, along with the ABS Module. Re-lined the brakes to a non-ABS master cylinder and now she brakes nicely.
That is great I might try that in the future.
That 90 to 96 mm in the FSM is for a non lifted truck. Completely out the window once you lift the truck. You had a bit more of the adjusting bolt left to go. Also, just re-bend that arm once lifted, easy peasy.
Thanks from Laos! Enjoy your content, keep it up.
Thank you very much for this video. I have been owned a lifted Hilux for more than 12 years to find out why the brakes are bad. Just jacked up the vehicle and tried to stall the engine in 1st gear. Adjusted the lever higher until it had brake power in the rear. I did a road test, and it is fine now.
Johann, thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad this helped you.
Great video and explanation. Looking forward to hearing your results
Noted, thank you!
Noted, thank youn
Very informative video, thank you for posting.
Thanks for liking the video. What a nightmare it was.
I may be replacing this valve as the valve that is on my HDJ81 is pretty old, not in bad shape but I have brand new parts. Some people actually delete this valve altogether. I need to do more research before I delete it.
Amazing video. Thanks for cracking open the FSM for the rest of us. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Tennessee.
From a fellow Tennessean. Thank you 423 Cruiser.
Thanks man! What a wonderful explanation
Thank you for the nice comment.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this information. I'm going to check mine out as soon as I get home. Subbed.
Thanks Wayne. I hope this helps you.
Great video, thank you. Although I have had three different toyota 4wd vehicles, that is the last thing I would have thought of adjusting. 👍
Thank you
So is this only a problem with FJ80s and NOT FZJ’s ?
It’s on all 80s most companies that make lift kits sell an adjustable bracket but people cheap out and don’t buy it, also some people delete it so your brakes work like a normal vehicle.
Nathan, this is a problem of all 80 series, Toyota Pickups, and Toyota 4Runners from this era as well as 1st Gen Tundra
Wow...thank you. I didnt know. Can you post this on IH8MUD?
Yes, I will try today.
There are lots of articles on ih8mud regarding this
@@InocenteSandoval that may be true but a thorough video like this is useful information in the community
Does this apply for the FZJ80 as well as your FJ80?
I do believe that the FZJ80 is operating the same system as the FJ80. You can double check this by just taking a look at the rear axel
