[VAL] Re: Rearend Raising
Hi Jeff,
I had the same problem with my 54 Flying Cloud. I took it to the
Airstream Plant and they first flipped the axle, putting the springs
above the axle. This takes the trailer to the clouds, or about 8"
higher than it was! Way too high, looked silly. They then lowered it by
shortening the shackles. This brought it to about 4" higher than
originally. I can take digital photo's of it if you'd like. No more
dragging her a-- up the driveway!!!
