I've been reading different threads, watching videos, and even posting up on others threads. I know there are other threads on this topic and I've been close to the locating my exact situation, but not quite. Because my Slee appt for a rear bumper install got moved up, I am now getting desperate. Tomorrow evening I travel across state lines (about 8 hours) for the long-awaited dual swing bumper. However, if I can't get my LC to level out a little more, I may have to give my appt away. The alignment shop didn't even want to align it until it's closer to normal.
I tried all the usual ways to get the valves open, even resorting to paying professionals that have more experience with these than I do. Nothing has worked and I am down to replacing the entire unit if they HAVE TO be opened. I'll have to post a couple before photos of the shutter control valves on this vehicle from Rhode Island later. With some help from local cruiserheads, I was finally successful installing the OME lift w/o opening the valves. I was told by many that it's certainly possible to work out the lean later. Not sure if anyone's worked out THIS big of a lean however.
The lean is to the right side as you can see from my written measurements photo. Last night I parked it on ramps on the high side, hoping that I understood correctly about which side to raise up. Because I am running out of time, I thought I would post my situation, double check I am doing it correctly, and see if anyone here has any other tips or tricks that I haven't found yet.
