Do you guys always go at it like this or did you find a new friend to spar with? New to this forum, just asking! I think I have what I need. I appreciate the feedback from everyone.
Only when a new person is getting some really bad info. You can test who you should be listening to: measure the distance from the hitch to the ground and with the engine running and aired up ready to travel, raise your tag axle which will “load up” the weight on the drive axle by 6-8,000 lbs. Go measure again. Did you loose several inches of ground clearance or did the airbags go boom?
Not familiar with your leveling system but even with jacks, you usually have a air dump option on the leveling control pad. You also might have a raise option which you can manually hold on and after the rig raises up, drive across the low spot while still holding the button down.
I know better than to ask for you to post a picture of the leveling control pad…near impossible for a new person but do to: http://photoposting.is-great.net/?i=2 and select the picture. Copy and paste the resulting link into a new post. Good Luck!
