I had the cruiser lean real bad on the pig. The drivers side was sagging more then an inch and was very noticable. I installed the rear springs that Brian gave us. Leveled things out. Last night I decided to go ahead and install the add-a-leafs in the front. They were to long as they had been made for the rear spring packs. I cut them to length and installed the first one on the drivers side. Well after I did that it leveled the 55 out. Now it just sags just under a 1/2 inch and you cant really tell unless your a cruiserhead or a perfectionist which I seem to be both. Im afraid if I install the add-a-leaf on the front passengers side it is going to throw me off again and make the cruiser lean to one side. I measured and it is pretty level right now.
What I am thinking of doing is keeping the rig the way it is now and just watching it over a few weeks. I fully intend to modify the stock rear springs and install them in the front. Then if need be I will add another leaf in the rear to level it out again. Im not looking for a big lift as I am running stock tire size. My neighbor is a professional welder... not sure how I lucked out at this again. My last neighbor was a professional welder too. So the pig gods must be watching my back. Anyway he can weld in the new hangers and I am looking at having him help me make a set of 1-1.5" long shackles.
After I get everything cleaned up I will take some new pics of the pig. It looks much better then it did when I first bought it.
