    brakes after 2" lift

    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.....
