Just for the archives I made the spacer from 6" round stock with a 2" hole through it I used a 1 inch thickness & it is about even now no more saggy butt :) I wonder if I should have used some kitchen cutter board to sanwich the aluminumn bewteen the frame seat and the rubber gasket that sits at the top of the spring ... we will see its is a nice firm ride now as well, I tried putting 2 mountain bikes on the hitch at the back and that does not even give it saggy butt any more ...
