Doing this job right the first time reguires using an adjustable protractor
"bubble" level and some careful measurements before and after.  The early
service manuals have procedures on doing this.  A four wheel alignment should
be done after this work.  All buses appear to have the sag.  Put two adults
in front and see if it's level.  Job is a bear but avoid using lift shocks as
these cause other problems.
