WOW... I'm famous... Well... I guess not...

My Scout???? Where did they get a picture of my Scout????
"Nice and Level"??? when was my Skyjacker kit nice and level????
I might have a bit less weight in the back and maybe I sit closer to
level...
But no.. Mine sags in the back too... I am happy with the kit but I do want
to level it off..
I can take some measurements for him But I don't know what is was before the
lift..
Anyway...

On another note...
Those Caster correctors that Epp sells at The Scout Ranch... What if I used
those on my 1980 which already has 2 degrees caster. and added that 1.5
more... would this help with the 4" Skyjacker lift?

Anyway.. Thanks..
