Re: What causes Brake Dive?

I lifted my 4runner 4" and added 33" tires on it.  As expected, I have a fair amount of dive to the right when I brake hard while traveling over 40mph.  What causes this?  Will going to crossover steering eliminate it?

Brake dive is very pronounced with a rear mounted shackle and soft positive arched leaf packs.  One solution is to move the shackle to the front(frame horn ends).....but don't do that if you still have the J arm.....bump steer will be out of this world. ZUK
I missed the part about the "dive to the right"....like the others have said, that's happens when the torque rod is removed. Cross-over will cure that.
