    Scales will be here tomorrow. The general concensus is that I may have TOO MUCH rear weight. What kind of %s will I be looking for? Left, rear, & cross. Ranges I mean, I know no one can be exact.

    Right, with blocks. 11#LF 12#LR 14#both right sides... RF is gaining about 2# hot and RR picking up 3# last time out. 0 gain on the left sides. I sure do miss good tire temps from the asphalt days.
