Here is a modification to raise the tail a few inches. This is to counter the changes of diameter of the nose tire. Don't use it to compensate for worn out rubber donuts on the MLG.

Adjust front strut height was created by Gianni Leonarduzzi
'46 Coupe 415-C with the Double Arm nose gear assembly. 
The airplane is not level: I am about 2" lower at the tip of the vertical fin.
How do I adjust the gear? Spacers on the main gear? Can I lower the front gear?
Also, I get some shimming in the front gear at times when I land - checked tightness of all components in the front gear assembly and all of them are tight, except the collar round the strut, which has a bit of looseness - but I cannot figure out how to make it go away. Thanks in advance for your help.
