Ride heigth
Art,

I measured my ride height Home Depot paint stick (a paint stick for a 5 gal.
bucket). I drew lines on a stick several years ago after Bennie informed me
of the ride heights. I carry the stick in the bus, and use it to verify
front & rear ride height. The line for the front is at 16", 18" for the
rear. Bennie said the ride height could vary by 1", + or -. and the rear
should always be higher than the front.

Your issue, my guess, is the ride height valves need to be cleaned out or
replaced. I experienced one side would ride high, increasing the other sides
height some. Installing new ride height valves eliminated the problem, so
far.
