brake/height control valve removal????

[heavymetal]

hey guys.

99 ram 2500 4x4. on my rear brakes i have a that braking valve for heavy loads. today i noticed its leaking, i unhooked the rod and i could barely move the arm.

my question is, can that be removed with no issues? also, i plan on lifting if pretty large down the road, do you guys remove them or extend the bar??

any advice? thanks

I have never heard of this braking bar?? Maybe it's a 2500 thing.

figured i'd anwser my own question just incase someone else comes across this.

i removed that height proportioning valve/block and replaced it with a normal hose, did all brake lines, removed the abs system (left it plugged in, no ABS light and spedo wont work without it)

now the truck stops on a dime and gives you a nickle back.
