[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!!!
