Double check my work-

[Doc]

Post lift LSPV adjustment.

(OME heavy lift, no weight front or rear - yet)

LSPV moved down as far as it will go in the slotted frame bracket.
Arm adjusted up as far as it will go on the axle threaded rod.

Rear brakes still will not lock up.

Did I do the adjustments right? I thought I did from past threads... but sometimes I'm a little dyslexic. Why won't the rear's lock up?

Not to be an idiot, but did you disable the abs for your test? Are you performing the test on a loose surface? I don't think the rears will lock up on pavement with the abs active.

I don't know if I can lock up the rear tires on either of my 80 on dry pavement!

 

[Doc]

Okay, that must be the problem then.

I figured I was, if anything, OVER corrected with having both the LSPV adjusted all the way down and the arm adjusted all the way UP... but just wanted to be sure.

When I get my rear bumper on it'll bump the braking up anyway.

You probably did overcorrect, and you'll know it when you have to replace your rear pads in 1000 miles. However, that doesn't necessarily mean the rears will lock on dry pavement.

if you brake in slippery conditions you might also notice the overcorrection as the rear of your 80 tries to pass the front

 

[Doc]

I won't have to worry about slippery stuff for a while yet. I plan on re-adjusting the lever arm back to the lower position though. I'm sure I'm over-corrected.

This how I fine tuned my adjustment. I moved the LPSV around in the only good snow we had here last year and skid tested it in my culdesac. It's cold under the rear at 20 degrees, but you really gain a good understanding of how a liitle adjustment makes a lot of difference. If the LPSV is at the bottom of it's bracket, thats way, way too far.
