Ruins the ride , you say…
I put some miles on after leaving the shop yesterday- significant ride improvement! Very positive feeling.

Unsurprisingly, the front end came up about 1 1/4” , resulting in a near level stance. I plan to swap rear leaf shackles to re-establish the former stance which was slightly down at the bow, up at the stern. Shouldn’t be too difficult as the current shackles are fairly new and free of corrosion.

Any input on that procedure , simple though it appears, would be appreciated.
