I have a Rampage with a 2.5 hybrid motor that I've had for about 12 years. I put Caravan front brakes and a 24mm MC in it, while leaving the stock rear drums. The problem I have is the load-regulated proportioning valve in the back. It makes the pedal really spongy and I can't make the brakes lock up at all. This can't be the way these things are supposed to work. And yes I did bleed them thoroughly. Does anyone else out there have this problem?
I took mine off so not gonna be much help but I am excited that it's getting some love again

My first thought would be to stick the caravan valve in there.... unless your MC is the issue, need bench bleeding.

+1. My rear prop valve was frozen up as well. I removed it, hard plumbed the rear lines, and forgot about it. I installed a Dynasty MC, HD K-car front discs and calipers, and minivan rear wheel cylinders in the stock drums. MUCH better brakes, and no more spongy brake pedal. Wish I had done this upgrade years ago...Originally Posted by 2.216VTurbo
