Fj62 sway bar & LSPV spacer w/ lift

[Hank]

I eliminated the rear sway bar and the LSPV. Worthless parts IMHO with my lift, shocks and Big Stinky still ran the highway in grand fashion. Brakes got better than ever.

Now to get it back on the road.

Euclid,
Yes, I did bleed per protocol including the LSPV, and yes, the fronts are stopping the rig more than the rears.
Im laid up for a while with the rig, but Im going to 86 the drums and put on rear discs. I getting pretty damn tired of F*&king with the breaks with no good result. I was hoping I was just missing something like the LSPV.

Thanks for the info, It helped a great deal. I hear A LOT about the LSPV, but no one really mentioned how and when you need to adjust it.
Ill give it a try down the road.

On my 88 FJ62, I just figured whether the link needed to be longer or shorter to increase the rear braking force, and adjusted the clovis and bent the (very stiff) rod to get the best braking. As most would guess, it doesn't make a lot of difference on an FJ62.

As the body gets closer to the axle, the LSPV increases the rear braking ability.
