Dave, that link doesn't work.
Knightab - Tnks for the pdf. I'll print them out and see if they work on my diff.
If not , I'll do what TeJay says and make one for my diff.

That pdf scaled down and if you measure the rule you will see it is about 7/8 =1"
the link Dave provided just has one to many "L's in it. Remove one and it will go right through,

Got my differential bracket made tonight. Got some dress up and trim work to do but other than that no problem. Hope to mount it this weekend.

Sorry about my spelling, I looked back and I guess 3 L's wouldn't work. Dave

Recently purchased my 2012 THOR ACE 29.2. Reviewing the forums I did several of the mods that seemed to be of issue to owners like the Generator "push pump", Y connector before the macerator easy and clean emergency dumping, fixed the bedroom sliding doors from slamming around, window screen fix, tv sound to coach speakers, propane quick disconnect for my grill to the ships tank, and of course the Cheap Handling Fix (CHF).
The CHF was by far the simplest and most beneficial mod that I did. Just a 15mm and 18mm wrench and 15 minutes of my time made such a significant difference. If they ever have a MH race at Road Atlanta, I will be there!! This thing handles great.
Thanks to all on the forums who have taken the time to post their mods, issues and solutions. I hope to be able to do the same.

Finished my rear track bar tonight! Didn't have time to give it a ride. I expect great things now, I have done the CHF front and rear, added sumo springs, added steering stabilizer and added rear track bar. Oh and for poops and laughs added the 5 star tune!

Well, I did the CHF on the front and rear tonight. I will take it for a test run next Saturday when I go get the propane filled. Only issue I noticed (as you probably know) was when extending the front levelers too much, the swaybar will make contact with the leaf springs. I only see this being a problem in places like Cedar Point, where the sites are sloped quite a bit and the front always has to be jacked up a lot (almost to the point of the tires coming off the ground). For now I will get even more blocks to drive up on to limit the amount of travel the levelers have to do.

Took a rest drive today with all the mods. Nice steady control, really happy with this! Tuner works nice also and the cruise is a pleasure to use as it no longer kicks into rocket gear at 2mph under set speed!
