I have also done the CHF. I cannot see how doing it would cause any change in the front wheels being on or off the ground. If you use auto level perhaps it needs recalibration. I now manually level because I noticed the auto level did lift the MH higher on all jacks than necessary.
Having the front wheels off the ground is no problem but never either of the rear wheels. Both rear wheels must be on the ground for the parking brake and transmission park gear to work.
Yes, it does ride with less sway when trucks pass, sudden wind gusts etc. Some say the ride is a bit harsher, we did not notice any change
IMHO the best improvement for the money is the CHF which is free or close to it. The next improvement is a rear track bar. It will fix the rear end tail wagging syndrome and make steering much, much easier with far less back and forth corrections needed. Cost about $500-600. I installed ours myself. Some make their own for $150 or so, I was not that brave.
Could you tell me which Rear Track bar you purchased and installed yourself? I'd like to give that a try if it isn't too difficult.
Thanks for the feedback on the CHF and front wheels.
I got mine from Henderson suspension in Eugene, OR if I remember correctly. Same thing as the Blue OX, but about $100 cheaper. I did it myself, having a helper to hold the bolt while you torque it would help. You need a 150lb torque wrench and some large sockets, I don't remember what size, fortunately rummaging around the tool box I found them.
