g'day folks, i lifted my 80 3" a few months ago and have been playing with with the proportioning valve rod measurement ever since, does anybody out there have the correct measurement?

i have the same problem ! after a lift my front brakes seem to be doing overtime and the rear brakes are lacking would this valve be the cause?

I reset my rear prop valve to those suggested on LCOOL and a few weeks ago got fed up with the near non-existent brakes (more so from cold)........turns out the adjustment meant the rear brakes did TOO MUCH work and had chewed almost through a new set of rear pads in about 15000kms......since adjusted it back and brake performance MUCH improved!
