While installing a rear track bar on my 2004 Bounder 35E with a 2003 W22 chassis, I found that the axle bracket is higher than the frame bracket. The auxiliary elastomer springs are less than 1/4" from the leaf springs, and the distance from the bottom of the "C" channel frame to the top of the axle is 3 3/4".

The weight is within specifications.
Front Rear Total
7034 13760 20794

Also side-to-side is almost even.

3484 3550 6858 6902

Is this a typical height or am I sitting low?

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking at however given you're running a 35 foot MH on a w22 I would say that you should be just fine.

I'm looking for anyone else who has measured the distance from the top of the axle to the bottom of the frame channel. My rig handles OK but I was just curious if it rides lower than normal.
