   Anyone know what a good distance is from the snubber to the leaf?
How important is it? I immagine if its too far away, the effectiveness
will be diminished, but what if it's too close? (is there such a thing?)

  Also, should the right snubber be the same distance away from the leaf
as the left snubber? My left snubber is a little closer than the right
one. I suppose I could shim the right one up a bit, but why would there
be a difference in the first place? Bent axle? :-(
