Re: [A/S] Bless Those Big Blocks...

The Eldorado had the Level-Ride from the factory, but the previous 
owner removed the entire system. In refurbishing the car for 
towing, I added Monroe manual air shocks and AirLift air springs in 
the rear along with new Cargo Coil coil springs. In hitching the 
car, I follow the basic instructions in the manual load the trunk 
and place the ball mount in the receiver and add air to the 
shocks/springs in equal amounts to level. It is then the standard 
hitching procedure with the Reese Dual Cam system.

I can't believe the difference that the front end work made - - 
finally, no more contact between the front fenders and tires. After 
more than a year, I was finally able to see the improvement in ride 
that four wheels that are actually true and round can make when they 
are added to a suspension that is performing as designed. Next 
week, I will be hitching up the Minuet for a test spin around the 
county to verify that the repairs are a total success.
