What I wrote about was..
85 Weekenders and Westy Campers are too high in front, by almost 2 inches.
85 GL good used springs fix that perfectly in my experience.

One can add a spacer to raise a rear side that's low ..
but it still sounds like a tired spring, and the right thing would be a
new one, or a very good used one perhaps.
