So does anyone see an issue with me using 4 plates on the front driver side with 2 plates on the rear driver side? Seems I'd get the exact same height at point of engagement this way where with the current (only 3 per instructions) on front of driver side there's an extra 1/4" gap between stable loads and spring pack that isn't there on the other 3 corners.
I see that creating an unequal load side to side. Put the same amount on each side. Just put as many plates on each side as you can while it still being easy to engage and disengage. If it isn't easy to operate you won't like them IMO. If you have airbags, fill them before loading, which will give you some more space to engage the stable loads. That's what I do. I have one side that is easy and one side that doesn't have quite as much room to engage.
Really though, if there is a 2 plate discrepancy side to side I'd wonder why. Enough so that I would fix that issue or at least determine why.
There's a misunderstanding of my problem. Currently there's a 1 plate discrepancy side to side due to the fact that I can only fit 2 plates on rear of driver side where I have 3 everywhere else. Additionally I have room to fit a 4th on front of driver side. If I did put a 4th on front of driver side I'd have 6 passenger side and 6 driver side and all would engage at the same height. As it is now driver side will sag 1/4" further before engaging overload.
