Before I started, each corner was so different in weight, I could not believe it. After adjusting, the weight is almost the same on each corner and the percentage front to back now is 51% in back and 49% in front.

Here's a photo of the tool I made. If your interested in making a couple (it's cheap) let me know or I could mail them to you, just for postage costs.

It's the best tool I've ever had to adjust weight, measuring for wheel & tire size and setting ride height.

how do you adjust the weight at each tire? is it done by the ride height?
