Default adjusting the bpv after lowering

after locking up my tires a few times, I decided to try this. I got the idea from the TTORA guys. When they lift their trucks, the lift the bpv with a bracket. I figured we lower the truck, we should lower the bpv. I did not have a bracket to lower it anymore, so I just lowered it 1 hole and turned it sideways. I have not tested it with an emergency brake stop, but I think it will be a little better. ****TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK****

I haven't locked up the rear yet, but need to do this just so my exhaust keeps from hitting the friggin thing. I'll give it a few acid tests after I do it.

looks like a good option bro, thnx....hey, unless your planning on redoing your exhaust real soon, you should get a hanger added on that tailpipe, that's how I had mine for a couple of months, but the weight of that pipe bouncing around with no hanger snapped the pipe off right at the muffler, just a big hole in it.....gave me an excuse to go ahead and get my flowmaster but just a caution for ya.

Why did you cut the exhaust pipe there?

I need to do this soon. I locked up the rear avoiding an accident that happend right in front of me. Not a fun feeling sliding like that when you are used to everything working properly.

I still have the stock exhaust and it looked like crap with the rollpan. It hung too low and was visable from behind the truck. Now, you can't see it anymore.

I've seen rally cars that have a manual bpv adjustable from the ****pit. I wonder if it would be a lot of trouble/expense to adapt one to the Taco? I haven't seen any in casual browsing, anybody know of a website?
