Located at the rear axle, there'll be a rod connected to the frame. The whole purpose of it is primarily for medium duty trucks (sometimes you'll see it on the heavier side of light duty), and it prevents an excessive application of the brakes when the vehicle is lightly loaded or unladen. As the weight of the cargo pushes the suspension down, that rod pushes down and opens up the valve further, allowing more fluid to flow with brake applications, thus giving you braking force necessary for the load being carried, while preventing too much brake force being applied when unladen.
