rear brakes not working after lift

ok so it feels like my rear brakes aren’t working properly now that the lift kit is in the rear the lift kit uses a helper spring to lift the rear end 2" could that have messed with the proportioning valve in my truck? Does my truck even have a proportioning valve how do I find out? Can someone send me a link to a pic so I can see what the proportioning valve looks like and where it is so maybe I can find it? I also need a picture of the rear abs "dump valve" I have a code for it popping up in my truck and I need to get it fixed but I can’t find it or find what I really need to replace so can someone please help me out.

drv side near fuel tank is a valve with a rod that extends off an arm down to the rear diff, on mine I extended it and made it adjustable so I could change my rear brake bias. when I was at stock height I need almost 2inches to get the rears to apply hard enough to improve my braking, my arm off the valve is slightly higher than horizontal
