Since then, 3 years of being loaded has it almost where it was again ( 2 9/16" ) If one were to have a spare block maybe it would make sense to rotate them every two years and let them uncompress ? Did anyone else notice they come back after being unloaded a few years?

I use 100SH skateboard wheels on my forward hangar cradle; after a day or more the wheels get flat spots and expand true again in about 20 seconds after rolling; the rear cradle uses 70SH wheels and they compress more if used under the main gear but also expand true almost immediately.
