Hey David.

Ya the tires all match but good suggestion thanks. I'll triple check
tire pressure.

From what I'd read in archives side to side tire swap was suggested
but swapping on the same side may help.

re: FS camp grounds. Yes I've been in one or two that were free "pack
in, pack out" types but this one seemed so much more luxurious in
comparison so was surprised not to see any fee posted.

Hopefully the pull is something relatively simple. I don't see any
obvious flaws with my work or the parts, and neither did the shop
beyond a little normal wear but I'll get the front up and check it
myself.

Neil.
