Maintaining ride height is required for the air spring system to function effectively and is a critical part of the air ride system. REYCO FRONT SUSPENSION RIDE HEIGHT is measured from the top of the air bag to the bottom of the metal bell shaped area that comes out of the bottom of the air bag. It is 8 3/8 inches from top to bottom. THE REYCO REAR SUSPENSION RIDE HEIGHT is measured from the very top of the air bag where it contacts a frame rail to the bottom of the metal bottom of the bell shaped area that sits on the lower steel beam. It is 12 inches. Hope this might help. Gary
Excellent, thanks Gary.
Bucky,
Remember to be SAFE and use safety stands, particularly when adjusting ride height (or have someone familiar and with the right equipment do it). It is no different than adjusting ride height on any OTR truck.
Let us know what you find. If too low, the coach can bottom out easily and crush the shocks on compression. If too high, bag pressure will be high and if really high, can pull the shocks apart on extension.
If you do not have adequate ride height adjustment, there are some relatively inexpensive variable length ride height rods that we can point you toward.
