Subject:Shims for front springs
From:developtrust
Date:Sat, 19 Jan 2002 20:06:21 -0800

Recently I put a shim in my left rear spring with great results in leveling
that lefty sway by one full inch.

I've searched the archives to find a posting I saw about how to put shims in
the front springs but can't find it again. I want to raise my front about
one inch on both sides.

Has anyone done this and can you give instructions. Or refer me to the
appropriate archive posting? I think it is a good temporary fix and would
like to do this soon.
