I hate  the listing. I've heard shims on one side will solve the problem

the Sychro.org springs. The shimming seems complicated and so I  have  avoided
it.

Hi All,
I too installed the Steve's springs,
On my 85 camper.
At the time the front of my bus sat quite high?
It was the 85 root beer brown color (Marian?)
Looked just like a buffalo going down the street! :o)
The springs did even things out though,
& in fact it now sits pretty much level all round.
If & when it starts to list to the left,
I've heard that all it takes is poly, cutting board material,
cut to the rear swing arm/ coil spring base size (donut shape)
And set under the coil spring (could be on top of coil spring?)(please
advise:o)
to take care of this problem.
I wouldn't say it's an easy job.
But, not too complicated.
I had the whole assembly apart a couple of years ago,
replacing all of the bushings, bearings, coil springs, shocks, brakes,
muffler bearings, etc.
