I moved the battery as far forward as it would go (in the 8ight) in the holder but it didn't make much difference (I only have about 1/2" of play, so not much adjustment available there).

I did not remove the shock springs when measuring, only the sway bars. Should I? I could see the springs shifting Front/Rear balance, but wouldn't think they'd skew things Left/Right?
I just want to see my dead balance then I will do it at ride height. Preloaded will make some differences. I also level my pit board. This week I may take the time to go ahead and mod the battery tray as well.
