				No adjustment there. Your shocks need the spacer installed or new donut installed. The nose strut has a taxi spring that sets the nose gear extension but no adjustment. I did both spacer and donuts.

				Thank you for the most excellent suggestion: I will order and install.
The MLG was rebuilt and new donuts installed a few year back, but I will have them inspected when we install this kit.
