Leveling Chinook with 1 front wheel

[kevin donald]

Does anyone know if wiil damage the front suspension to drive up onto just one 8 inch leveling block with the right front wheel and leave it like that for a month or so? The front end on our Quigley Converted Chinook Baja 4x4 is shock and coil suspension. It is in a nice location on our property however leveling it necessitated the use of just one block in the front. Thanks for any feedback. Cheers!

Short term should be fine, but if it is my rig, and I spent the money on the Quigley, I would take care of it better. With one block, looks like it is level inside the rig, but there is a torsion twist along the axis of the axle, so that the front counteract the twist of the rear. The best way to level a rig is to level the wheels. If it is just a overnight stay in a cheap camp site, I would just let it go. But if it is on this spot for a few weeks, it should not be difficult to distribute some of the block from the 8 inch level to the driver side, and find a short piece to put in the right dually.
