How do you adjust the rear ride height on air suspension

Just learned a little about that hazard the other day when a tow truck driver hooked up supplemental air to mine from his truck, and drove it up on blocks, before he got under there to disconnect the drive shaft.

I would have not thought of that hazard.

To the OP, PLEASE pay close attention to the above posts on both ride height and more importantly, blocking the frame before you crawl under there. There is insufficient room under many motorhomes for a body when the suspension is fully deflated.

You may already be full aware of this, but it's worth repeating. Good luck.

Because of the very short driveshaft, as well as optimal shock travel, I would NOT, repeat NOT run out of spec.

And, with many DP's running the front ride height out of spec changes front end alignment!

So, your best bet is to verify that you are to spec, both front and rear.

Thanks Brett, I was hoping someone would tell the OP that there is some very specific specs in ride height requirements. You shouldn't just "jack it up" 'cause you want to. There will be consequences.

Thanks guys. I will check it out Saturday. It's raining like crazy here in Chicago. I will update you after I inspect it in the morning

I have no idea what that chassis is or what it looks like but many times there is a rod from the axle to the air valve and you make it longer or shorter.

Usually you have two ride height valves on the rear axle and one on the front. It can be reversed but not often. Usually it's a simple rubber end attached to the axle and clamped to a metal rod that goes to an arm on the ride height valve mounted to the frame. Loosen the small hose clamp and pull the rod out 1" and re clamp on both sides.

You need to block the frame so you do not lower the rig on you if something goes wrong.
