Yes. When we adjusted hook rollers, we'd lay the boom straight out (sometimes with weight on it) to tilt house forward, then measure clearance at top of front rollers and at bottom of rear rollers. Since rollers are tapered, adding or removing shaft shims would push them toward or let them pull away from the center shaft, altering the clearance between roller and circle flange.
