Jacking up the coach
I am quite familair with how to raise a vehicle for servicing. We have
Class 4 and 5 trucks that are jacked up all the time. But a bus type
coach with air ride and especially a Bird is a whole other thing. If
you jack the rear up by the rear axle and place jack stands under the
axle that is no better than leaving it on the tires. You will have more
room but is just as unsafe. If an air bag blows or a line/valve leaks
the coach will drop. Same applies to the front axle. So my question is:
Where do you place the jack stands or blocking when you raise your
coach?
