Subject:Re: Leveling shims. Success report and mistakes to avoid.

After re-inflating my Air Lift balloons in the rear springs I discovered
that the left rear shim fix did NOT correct the front sway completely. My
front still sways 3/4 inch to the left, but I suppose 1/4 inch correction is
still good.

Although I want to raise the front one inch (and correct that 3/4 inch sway)
I'm going to defer that project due to the fact that the front end is a lot
more work. I've decided against the spring spacers you buy at FLAPS as I am
concerned that alignment might suffer such a lop sided approach. I'll put in
the Teflon and rubber shims up front when the time comes.
