John,

I've thought about this in the past and wondered why more people don't do
try this modification.  It seems blatantly simple.  If you like your
springs the way they are (like me with the stiff factory overload option -
excellent for trailer towing) and all you want is a little increased lift
for tire clearance, it seems like the perfect idea.  I always figured there
must be some major flaw in the idea that I couldn't see, so I dismissed it.

Nice to hear you're pursuing it and possibly I'll have to make a trip out
your way someday to have it done to my Traveler.

Regards,

John L.
