Right. I agree. A few posts back (same thread) I provided him with some numbers that I measured on mine, since it "appears" level and I have the same install.

It could have settled a bit.

No fricken popping noise either.

Hummer, Ford, Toyota...H1, H2, or H3...the method is, what it is. 24 1/2 - 23 3/4 = 3/4, I have found a difference of 3/4ths of an inch between the front and back "axel to fender" measurements. Meaning, when the vehicle measures 3/4" lower in the front, it appears level.

My point was, measuring the axel to fender distance might assist him in finding out how much space he would have to compensate for, in response to, his original question of "What can I do?". Hell, once he figures out how much higher or lower, the front actually is when it appears level it's a downhill, decision as to what to do. He could theoretically let enough air out the tires (front or back) to get a visual once he figures out how much "distance" he has to compensate for, in order to acquire the 3/4 inch difference. Obviously he would have to air the tires back up after trying to drive it again! But he would be well aware of how much money/effort to put into the discrepancy of "front too high!"

I hope that makes sense to you, I'd really like to get started on this bottle of "Friday Night" Scotch!

It takes to much effort to think, type, and communicate about thoughts from 2 days ago!
