That may be true. Now that I think back, My Discovery on the FL XC chassis did seem to have a softer ride than the Dip, but it did sway more as well when going over an uneven surface.

A word of caution is advised when setting the ride height. Make sure you have jack stands or the jacks almost down when adjusting, especially under the rear. I lower the jacks until they touch and then bring them up a little to keep the coach from settling on you. Adjusting the ride valve is simple but something could go south on you in a hurry and there are all kinds of low hanging steel parts in the rear of the coach and the chances slim you could move fast enough to avoid them.

Happycarz,
I got the same spec from Monaco. My measurements: Back anywhere from 7-13/16 to 7-3/4,all 4 bags are w/in 1/16 of ea. other.Front- pass side B4 wheel=8-1/4 behind wheel=8-1/16 driver side B4 wheel= 8-13/16 behind wheel= 8-3/4. I know I'm low in back but don't get why the front is all over the place, the ground was fairly level. Do you have air leveling? I can't crawl under with the suspension at ride height,too low. With the air lifting the rear all the way up I can fit under. There are 2 ride height valves 1 for left,1 for right. With the box cage they have welded together under there it would be difficult to lay on your back and reach the valves with coach lifted, there's no way to sit up like in front. Did you do yours w/ rear raised manually with air? Dealer can't get me in till July 14. Leaving on a trip the 13th. Monaco Rep told me camping world is authorized and capable to do this. Anyone use them for this type of work?

i've had bad luck using McClains for service... i'll never darken their door again.. i bought my first coach from them and their sales department is retarded as well.. the warranty work they performed was the same as stealing from the manufacturer.... they must be better in texas though....
