Do I need this?

I was just wondering if I need to keep this piece on my truck, if I'm not hauling anything heavy? I was told it was to keep the rear end of the truck from bouncing up and down when fully loaded? If I don't, I want to remove it, so I have straight shot out for my exhaust.
Thanks

Re: Do I need this?

It was a load sensing device for brake proportioning from what I had on mine. If the rear of the frame was squatted from a heavy load, the lever would adjust the brake fluid proportioning to help w/braking.

On my dually, I simply by-passed the unit & removed it since my set-up is custom & the bags keep it @ the same heights even when loaded.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
