Hey folks - Brake bias question here would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this topic:
I did a brake upgrade on my ‘62 and it’s been great. Master, booster and 4Runner calipers.
I’m also running 33” tires.
Now, though, I feel like there is a clear over-bias to the front brakes. Especially noticeable on slick / wet and when towing something heavy. The fronts lock pretty easily.
I’ve looked at the RPV in the rear and all seems good there. And, the rear drums and pads were replaced recently.
Been thinking about adding a proportioning valve on the front line to dial them back a smidge. Just to try and get a little more balance. But not enough to become a drifter …
I’m not 100% confident that adding a pro valve on the front will provide the result I’m looking for though.
I have a wilwood valve sitting right here ready to go. Or should I bite the bullet and go for a rear disc swap (which would be sweet and expensive) . But I’ll never sell this truck so…
Thoughts?
