does anyone have help for leveling deck for 52". i noticed today out the blue the deck set on 3" is actually 2.5" so tried to adjust top bar to change height and it changed the pitch. i then tried to adjust pitch and with front side screws nearly all the way in it still was lower than back. i tried a few more times on both sides and couldnt get it right. i thought about putting jacks on all four corners of deck to the height needed and then adjust pitch and height to that. if anyone has had this problem or knows a better way please share. thx!
 
I have an Exmark Vantage with a similar problem although not as severe as yours. Best suggestion I can make, provided your tire pressures are within range, is to use the correct hole to get the height you desire even though it will not be the correct number. In other words, use the 3 and 1/2" setting on the mower for a 3" cut.

Good idea, the only problem with this is I cut some lawns on 4.5" which would now be 4".

Try raising the tire pressure a little. Unless something is bent to has noticeably moved in an adjustment almost always a change in cutting height or level will normally translate back to a change in tire pressure either front or back.
