Our 43QRP Bus looks very high in the back. Can anyone one with a similar model can you tell me how many inches from the botom of the rear battery door to the ground. Also need the exact measurements and exactly where you measure to get the exact ride height for the backend. Thanks

You can call Spartan to get exact measurements. Measure both front and rear, if the front is low it will cause the rear to be too high.

I don't know how Spartan measures ride height, but Freightliner measures either between the shock mounting bolts, or the shock mounting plates. You also need to know that ride height measurements should be taken when the rig is parked on a level surface.

For my non-tag coach, per Spartan OM for the MM chassis (all of their chassis are listed on the document), Arvin Meritor RS19145 and Reyco Air 240AR 8.25" or Reyco 104AR 8.5". The measurement per footnote 1 rear: measured from bottom of frame to center of axle. The front ride height for the Tuthill/Granning IFS 1460 is 9".
