I remember people doing that in the '90s to improve traction in RWD trucks. When it comes to brakes, before ABS became mainstream, I remember some Brazilian Chevrolet trucks featuring a load-sense proportioning valve (LSPV), which used to be wrongly advertised as if it was an actual ABS on the rear wheels.
