Vegas off level

Got my 25.1 in February and we just love it. Added a Helwig sway bar on the front and Air Lift air bags on the back took out most of the wind and corner sway.
Thought that the air bags would take care of a condition where the right side of the coach is 1 3/4" lower than the left side as measured at the center of the rear axle from floor to fender skirt and also from shop floor to bottom coach floor from outboard points at the rear of the axle. The air bag is rated at 2500 lb each and the bag will only raise a side 1". Really wold like a level rig.

The Vegas is on a E-350 extended chasis.

Do any other Axis or Vegas owners have this problem. What is your side to side difference?

Thanks, Mike "

Mike, have you done a 4 corner weight of the coach? This is good to make sure you have a balanced load as well as proper tire inflation.

Haven't weighed it yet but will do that. Did a little more investigation and found out that coach floor to frame clearance is 1/4" more on the left side than right. This difference on a 42" wide frame equals 3/4" difference in side to side level. Have asked Thor what it is on a off the floor coach, but no response yet.
