Great info here! Thanks!
I am using a stabilizer hitch. Its a 10,000 lb job, but I might need to play around with setting that up. It does feel like the rear end is moving all around but also a bit like worn shocks. I had them off and gave 'em the old squeeze test and they felt good, but who knows! I am thinking of baggin it and since I work on Transit Busses for a living I think I might be able to rig up the levelers like you were suggesting. The Burb is due for thourough going over/ rebuild. I might get started on it an call it the "Rolling Resto". look for that thread! The other plan is to pull it off the road and do the whole Frame off thing, but I'm really worried about the "don't need it don't fix it" thing in my head and the fact that I really have a bad track record with finishing major projects. But if I do go that route it means a new/used Duramax in my very near future! I think that would look good in my signature! Thanks again and keep it coming!
