Adjust Ride Height
Mike,

One clarification on the fender lip. I'm guessing you mean the metal portion
of the fender and not the rubber flare, correct?

I measure the fender lip at 12 o'clock. 41" front 42" rear.
How's the shocks?

Mike,

What should the ride height be front and back and where do you do your measuring
from? Oh, and do you know if excessive bounce is a cause of air spring failure?

Thanks,

There are 3 leveler valves. One on the front axle and two on the rear. Place a
jack stand under the trailer hitch out of fear and get under the coach behind
the LR tires. You will see a verticle rod with a slide adjustment on the back of
the axle, lengthen it an inch. Dump the suspension and reinflate. This should be
done on a level concrete surface. Might take a few tries to get it right, PB
blaster will be a good thing to use on the assemblies before trying to adjust
them.

My 83FC35SB leans a little. The drivers side is a couple of inches
lower than the passenger side. Front to back seems even, just side to
side is off. Told the wife it is because I weigh more than her. I
thought there was a side to side ride height adjustment for the air
suspension near the rear axle, but couldn't find it, or at least was
not sure what I was looking for. Anyone know where this is, what this
looks like and how to adjust it? Does the suspension have to be dumped
first to adjust it? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.
