Hi guys,

I have just done a 2 inch lift on my patrol and purchase a brake proportioning extension bracket but realised the setup is different on my model.

There dosnt seem to be a bracket to extend on the rear diff or a spring for that matter.

Dose anybody know were or how to adjust the brake proportioning valve on the latest Y61 model patrol?

Thanks in advance

Haven't driven it yet. I still have to install the adjustable drag link this afternoon as I ran out of time yesterday. Just not looking forward to trying to get the thing off.

I'll take it for a drive tonight and see how it's goes.

I just didn't want to lose any breaking in the rear as I will be towing a camper

Yeah I installed an adjustable one as I new the steering would be out and give me the shits.

I spoke to the guys at the suspension shop were I'm getting the castor correction bushes installed and wheel alingnment done and he said the latest model Y61 has electronic stability control so that's why there is no break proportioning valve spring.

It dose feel like its breaking front heavy now but not sure it that's just because the new springs are lighter in the front over the back. I'll probably just wait a few weeks until the springs settel and see how it gose

ABS models do not have brake proportioning valve as it is individually controlled.

Love your new car look of your photos.
