Hi Hal,

Congrats on the conversion so far. The issue with front end sag may be nothing more than the normal settling of the GMC front end once it is jacked up. After we jack up one of these things they need to be driven a couple of miles before the suspension will settle into where it wants to ride while going down the road. I will be covering this and several other related issue in my alignment presentation at GMCMI shortly. See you there.

One issue did surprise me though. The front end sagged a good 3 inches on the first run. I have added about 500 lbs to the front but thought the new
Huber bars with an additional 19% should be more than adequate to handle the extra weight. I hope they work out.
