Dump ONLY the front air?
My driveway inclines from the street. The grade was
cut down about 2 feet and repaved for my other coach. This new-to-me 35' has considerable overhang aft of the rear wheels so the rollers (one stuck)roll about two feet lifting the rear. It is half full of diesel and propane now so when more weight is added with water,fuel,belongings it has got to drop lower. I'm thinking two solenoid exhaust valves set to a pre- set pressure reduction might drop the front raising the rear. All comments appreciated.(about the stuck roller too) Bob Janes 87 FC35 Greenville, SC |

Hi Bob,
I've seen several coaches that have been set up so you can over- inflate the rear bags, front or both for just the situation you have. You use additional solinoid valves to bypass the regulated air to the axle. Caution must be used as the driveshaft angle will be increased drastically on a pusher, not so much on an FC. The setup I saw had both front and rear as he owner had difficulty with ramps for the ferry boat that was used frequently. In talking with a tech at Bleakley, I was told that it is a relatively simple job to add the extra valves and switches. Rich D.

Should it drop lower? I figure the level adjusters should keep it level within
the weight limitations of the air springs. I have not measured mine in both extremes, but I installed air springs in place of the leafs on my F350 and the level adjusters adjust for any load I place in the bed. I can even over ride the leveler and put a little more in to get more clearance, if need be. one_dusty_hoot street. The grade was cut down about 2 feet and repaved for my other coach.
