Bill your 02 ride height setting i think should be made using the old method of measurements from the bottom of main frame to the top of the H frame and starting the rear first ( get the tag up out of the way) then front then deplete the air and air back up to travel height double check height. Use the tag to transfer weight to the front by using the truck scales with coach loaded as for a trip. See post about this above .

The ride height on my 2000 Dynasty is measured from bottom of main frame rail to top of H frame rail. That makes sense because that's where the air bags sit.

You can see it in this picture.



My front height is 9 1/2" and yhe rear is 11".

Is that a new air bag , it looks so clean and bolt shiny. I have a '01 Contessa San Marco with the Left front two always lower than the other 6. A Truck repair shop is having a look at it today. I want to replace the '08 tires with 15,000 miles on them and don't want to ruin the new ones.

Congrats on the new toy.

Just a side note. Are the tires Goodyears by any chance? And how old are they. Goodyears are known for wearing funny.

Did you have any wandering issues? Such as having to saw the steering wheel back and forth or having to hang on with trucks passing?

Sorry for the delay. Yes that is a new air bag. The old one was holding air, but had a cut in the outside cover.
