Anyone notice that the braking effort isn't as sharp after doing a 2" lift (AmadaXtreme Explorer 11 2" Lift Kit Nissan Patrol GQ/GU (Stage 2) and going from 265 to 285 tyres .

Well bigger tyres will certainly affect the brakes. Your trying to stop a greater rolling resistance.
But you may also need to get a bracket for the proportional valve at v the rear axle.. cheap and chips and will get the valve back into normal range.

It's just a bit of steel flat bar with holes to suit.
If you have a bit lying around just make one.
I have a few in my shed if you like I'll send you one.
I need to fit mine to lol. Only been 7 years.....

I just used the original bracket traced the holes with both brackets flush at the bottom then measured the base of oem up 51mm and repeated then drilled .If you use 40mm w plate the oem bracket sits flush so the holes are centered ,fit and have a beer done .
