After auto leveling only front airbags seem to deflate properly

I have set the airbag pressure for the suspension system to automatically deflate during the auto jack leveling procedure. However, it seems like only the front of the coach is deflating properly. I was told when you can't get a fist on top of the tire the airbags have sufficiently deflated. I can't get a fist in there in the front of the coach, but the rear of the coach is sitting much higher.

When I configured the auto airbags to deflate during the jack leveling procedure it didn't give me another options, it was either on or off.

Should the rear deflate more like the front, so that I cannot fit my fist above the tire?

My air suspension all deflates at once so I don't think I can help you. And yes, on mine, the rear and front are equally low when deflated.

Okay thanks for the response. Hopefully someone else may be able to help.

I'm only familiar with HWH leveling, which also dumps all my air suspension in the process.
What brand leveling system?

Maybe get down and look, you should be able to tell if it's deflated or not. Maybe poke it with your finger.

Are you sure the jacks aren't just jacking up the rear of the coach to make it level?

I can only speak about my Spartan chassis with air/spring rear suspension. The rear does not lower as much as the front with air only suspension. The rear is Hendrickson suspension.

If you want to investigate further, make sure both dump valves are working as designed, and sleep soundly afterward.
