    At Leeds? Been there a few times when going to Indy Car races or other events at Barber Motorsports Park and Museum.

    The one in Memphis on the Mississippi River is really cool with boats floating around inside and a 300 room hotel inside the store with a balcony overlooking the sales floor and the observation decks on the other exterior near the peak.

    Upon further scrutiny, it seems to have the glass bottom observation deck like the one in Memphis where you ride the elevator to about the 6th floor where the restaurant/bar is and access the observation decks.

    alright, new mount is in! This thing was a pita to fit in the truck, I might have to make this version a bit shorter.. was worried I wouldn't get it to fit but finally made the plastic on the truck bend enough

    So I ended up having a shop install the Headstrong lift on Friday. Having to take it back in this week to address a few things:

    1. They left my old 1" rear block installed under the leafs when they installed my new 3-leaf aal (removed overload leaf as instructed)
    2. Installed the driver's side aal backwards (long side of aal is supposed to go towards rear, they installed it towards the front, but they installed the passenger side correctly)

    So I am going back for them to flip the driver's side aal and remove the rear blocks. Here is where I have questions that you all may be able chime in on:

    1. The passenger side rear measures 1" higher than driver's side right now, could this be caused by the backwards aal and be corrected when the shop flips the aal or does this sound like a weight distribution thing?
    2. Based on measurements I've taken, I got a full 3" of lift in the front from Headstrong's 2" lift coils (basically the same as 884s) on 5100s (Headstrong assembled, so no worries of incorrect assembly). I am 2wd DC, so I knew I would probably get 2.5" of lift with the front lacking the weight of a differential. Based on y'alls experience will the front settle more over time? I am worried about being nose high once the rear block is removed if the coils do not settle.

    Thanks in advance for any insight y'all can provide
