Dolphin Suspension

Hello everyone, New member here thank you for having us! We are also new 2000 36' Dolphin with tag axle owners. Our Dolphin seams to sit very low all around, is this typical of Dolphins? Is there any mods to increase the ride height.

Your tag axle rubber springs are worn out or broken. You can buy replacements directly from Moryde. I installed Air Lift Air springs on rear axle to level my coach.

Thank you very much for enlightening on this situation. So are you running the bags and the rubber springs?

The rubber springs are not optional they are part of the tag axle system supplied by Moryde. The air bags/springs were installed to compensate for leaf spring sagging and level the coach.
