Brake Question

This is a question for all of the brake gurus out there. I have a 01.5 with rear disk brakes. I would like to have the rears do more braking. Does any one know a method to change the brake bias?

I may be wrong here since I have drums but I would think there should still be a valve over the rear diff that is connected to the housing by a rod. By changing the length of the rod you fake the valve into thinking there is more weight in the bed, so more rear braking power.

Ont the disk brake trucks the proportioning valve is part of the anti-lock control--
What you did to your drum brakes I did to my Comanche back in 86- Worked great.
