Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to bypass the load compensator? My brakes suck because the compensator isnt hooked up
The bottom line runs to the front prop valve and the top line runs to the T fitting for the rear brakes. Any thought's, Idea's, or suggestions?
FWIW I don't know too much about brake fittings/adapters.

The load sensing prop valve was disconnected on my 91 "V" series crew cab when I bought it and it never seemed to bother things. Once I lifted the truck I eliminated the valve and plumbed the brake line straight from the frame to the flex line going to the axle. I never noticed any change.

That is what I would really like to do is just plumb the brake line from the frame to the axle. Is there an adapter on yours , or was the T fitting bracket moved forward?
 
On mine the "T" was down at the axle housing. I literally screwed the frame line into the top of the flex line.
