I have read through the very good posts on making adjustments to the torsion bars for lifting the shells. I live in Canada and unfortunately there are no dealers here - it was hard to find a TrailManor - I would far rather have a dealer make the adjustment properly. I had a younger friend try to make the adjustment as my husband wouldn't try, but I didn't notice much difference, so I'm sure he was overcautious in the adjustment.
I do want to be clear the reason I asked about a lift kit for the shells is that I found a website (see link below) that talked about an after manufacture kit for lift assist for the shells on a TrailManor. It includes a video (also link below) demonstration where you see the fellow using a hand control and the shells going up with no one lifting them. But the phone # and e-mail are no longer valid.
I had my hopes up briefly but will try to find someone who can make the adjustment for me. Thanks for your replies.
