Hey gang,

Alrighty... I just got back from the spring shop. I wonder if they did this properly.

Measurements before:
LF 31.5" RF 32.0"
LR 31.0" RR 32.0"

After add-a-leaf:
LF 31.75" RF 32.0"
LR 33.0" RR 33.0"

...so obviously the add-a-leafs evened out the rear/sag, and it looks like they tried to even it out in the front. BUT, wouldn't they even it front-to-back? OR, will the rear settle down by an inch?

I'm a little pissed at them also because they said they would put on my new shocks, but said "it was too involved because of all the rust" (I live in new england). Sheeesh. So, I need to get the shocks put on ASAP. What ticks me off even more is that I'm getting new tires (BFG's) and an alignment tomorrow, so if I try to even it out afterwards, I'm sure I'll lose the alignment...

Maybe I should get an alignment guarantee and bring it back to them afterwards?? :)

Thanks,
JT
