hi there

just wondering what others have done to beef up their brakes to better stop the big tires. rear discs...what else has been done?

also...i thought i read something about having to "center" the proportioning valve when bleeding. how exactly is that done (i ran new brake lines).

by the way...it's an 82/85 CJ7

thanks
patrick

hi there

my understanding of the proportioning valave is that it's function is to control the amount of pressure going out each line. because each line is of a different length, the pressure from the master cylinder must then be split differently to the different lines.

is that the correct understanding?

if it is...how do i adjust it so that i don't have all my braking power going to the front drivers side tire...er something like that.

thanks
patrick
