the Tiger you will see they sit high. The taller tires of the day
made it look OK. The shorter tires of today make it look
wrong.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV id=yui_3_16_0_1_1452860714381_38122>Since it has been so quiet, I thought
I would throw one out. My front suspension is sooo stiff and the height
is 2-3 inches in my mind higher than it should be. Rebuilt suspension,
welded up per CAT instructions, stock springs, Koni shocks - old and all new
rubber etc.</DIV>

<DIV id=yui_3_16_0_1_1452860714381_38122>The front has no bounce at all.
First idea is to loosen upper and lower control arm bolts, drive just a
bit and then re-tighten. Can you put the front anti sway bar on upside
down - not sure is could be a problem or not. Bushing grease on all new
rubber?</DIV>
