Brake component name

I've looked all over and can't figure out what you call it.
I'm pretty sure it adjusts your brake bias more to the rear when you have a load on.
Since this is on the F350 4x4 Dump that's my best guess.
I want to go thru the brake system, new lines hoses etc.
So I need to know what this is called in case I break it and need to replace it.
Thank you,
KO

Try "rear brake proportion valve for a F-350"

Just from what I've read it's for dialing back the rear brake bias when empty.
It weighs quite a bit empty, so i just wonder how much more it can give to the rear, if any.
