I have used spacers on front & rear on cars in the past to get them level side to side. I prefer to measure from the floor to the top of the fenders on all 4 corners. I have also found that stick edger blades (i own a landscape company) are great spacers for the rear leaf springs. The are the perfect length & have a hole in the middle for the locating stud. I paint them black, and stack them if needed to get the desired height. Plus they will slide in the perch without having to take everything apart, just losen the u bolt nuts & pry up on the rear end.

Z06-Oddly enough the front seems to only be off by a quarter of an inch. Thanks for the tip on the stick edger blades too, great to know!

GUI-thanks for the good advice as usual!!
