Flat towing ,the front ride height is set according to the book. It was a few inches low in the past with the stock front end and a level coach . With the correct ride height it is lower in the rear. The problem with the squirrely front end is only under power when it is a steep incline under full throttle or close to it in low gear I don't know what it would be at greater speed as the hill is like a snake. It is like impossible to stay in one lane. When Peter told me he had this problem on a certain hill I thought it was strange but now I know what he ment. I came across a lot of 7% mountain grades yesterday climbing 8,000 ft passes yesterday and didn't have the problem just the shudder when it shifted. It is a Manny front end and the shocks are ok Bilstens. I'm thinking lowering the front ride height to a more level coach may help ?
