proportioning valve

need some advice , got a 98 with 102000 miles on it , checked the rear brake linning and I feel it has way to much linning for the miles on the truck , I believe the proportioning valve is holding back on the rear braking to much , has anyone lengthed the rod between the valve and the axel to boast the rear braking ? maybe 1/2 inch ? I pull a fifth wheel camper with a boat behind the camper and a little more braking would help , ( heck this is still the original linning in the rear ) anyone with experience on this ?
