Converted Ride Height #s?

[lonestarace]

Has anybody converted the rear air ride height #(8.25") that Spartan gives out to a shock lower eyelet to upper eyelet #? If so, what did you come up with? I came up with 19 1/2"?

I'm having our 98 DSDP frt and rear axles aligned this week. It rides on a Spartan MM chassis w/Reyco Model 240AR drive axle air ride suspension and Granning IFS1200 frt air suspension.

I have the Spartan owners manual that came with the coach. In it the Granning manual says the front ride height is 16", + or - 1/8", measured between the center of the upper and lower shock eyelets. But in the Reyco manual for the rear, it doesn't give a measurement. So I called Spartan and they quickly emailed me the alignment specifications,8.25", + or - 1/8", but I would prefer an eyelet to eyelet #.

Thanks

I have a 2006 Kountrystar and the rear ride height is 8.25" measured from the bottom of the chassis frame to the center of the rear axle.

On a brochure from Spartan, for the Mountain Master chassis the #'s are

Front: IFS
Model 1200 and 1370 = 6.06"

Vehicle must be parked on level surface
A. measure the distance A- from bottom of frame rail to the ground
B. measure the distance B- from the center of spindle (hub cap) to the ground
C. Ride height measurment equals A - B

Rear w/240R rear suspension
8.25" from bottom of chassis frame rail to center of axle housing

Hope this helps!
