I have done about 20 GMCs over the years. The last one was about 6 or 7 weeks ago. If you are going to do it jacked up in the air, be sure to park the coach when you return each time from your driving trip, straight with no turning bind on either the front or rear wheels. Drive it straight in and take your hands off of the steering wheel for the last 10 feet or so.

We do it slightly different here because we have the luxury of independent wheel scales. We still block the rears but we adjust the fronts for equal weight on each wheel. Then after removing the scales we adjust the front height. Almost always the fronts are equal in height when the weight is equal and the rears blocked. Then we can crank the bars up or down equally to the the front heights exact. We consider anything less than 100 pounds difference acceptable but we shoot for a 50 pound difference with no occupants. Almost always the left rear is heavier that the right rear, so if there is a difference in the front we go for 0 to 50 pounds heavier on the left side.
