I'm getting a harsh ride from the front of my w900 that maybe contributing to the rear I'm not sure... Feels like I'm driving my old T800 but after doing a lil measuring I found out my front sits about 4 inches higher than the rear ( at proper ride height,8.5 for the AG380) from frame to level ground, I'm wondering if I take some spacers out will they give better ride... Also does the arrangement of the spacers matter? I've seen a lot of w9s with 1 spacer on top of the leafs... Mine are all underneath the leafs

Same amount of spacers I have on mine. I would look elsewhere for the rough ride.
rollin coal Thanks this. -
The frame should be level. 4" is a lot. Check your measurements again on a level floor. If its that much take out all those spacers. Those don't look right in any event. Just be sure to check ground clearance etc and clearance between oil pan to axle. Might need an alignment after too. Steering wheel will definitely be off centre. Good luck

never mind I read that posting wrong

That doesn't look right! If that's the way Pete dose stuff from the factory I'm really disappointed. One of the biggest no no in the automotive world is stacking lift blocks on a steer axle. My international has a block but only one but it's about 2 1/2 tall.
Make sure you have enough clearance between the axle and oil pan if you do take the blocks out. -

No they are not... They sit about 3/4 to an inch lower.. but the catwalk (frame to ground) measures to be about 2 inch lower than the front
