A bud fussed at me because my running boards were not level to the ground. One sloped up one bubble and the other sloped down a bubble. I'm thinking that evens things out.

I'm guessing it is a major operation to adjust this.

Just close one eye when you look at it, If it's still off then close the other eye. Might take a couple a times to get it right.

So what do you think it will do for mating up to the fenders?If nothing looks odd about your fenders leave it alone!

Wickie, Dog here, Straight/Level 101: Iffin' thet molding you nailed up looks curved, jist tilt yo' bio-focals & it gets straight & if you bio-focal more, it curves the other way, "MAGIC"! How kin Purdy's house be level?? The world is ROUND, SO, iffin' you go outside & lay down a LOOOONG level, it'll "ROCK"----SO, is anything really "LEVEL"??
Maybe thet's why Ol' Bill leans to the right when he walks?? One guy thought Minerva's right tail lite wuz low----"Did sumbody step on yo' tail lite"??---"I don't think so, I don't have a RUMBLE seat, IDIOT" NOBODY ever asks Ol' Bill to see if their bumpers are "LEVEL"---I wunder why?? Buster T.
