leveler landing pad hits leaf spring
MH is a Fleetwood on an F-53 Ford chassis. The front leveler cylinders are mounted in such a way that the landing pad is slightly (maybe an inch) under the leaf spring. At times, usually at slow speed...

no, nothing is bent -- same situation on both sides, can't imagine bending both hyd. cylinders and/or brackets the same amount in opposite directions. problem is most likely the fact that the chassis is equipped with air bags, which lifts the chassis and the attached levelers in relation to the axle/springs. I'll try it with the air bags de-flated -- if that works then the leveler mountings should be able to be moved downward - as the chassis must ride higher when the bags are inflated. Lowering the levelers and raising the chassis (same amount) would still maintain the same ground clearance for the pads when raised. BTW, the RV is a 2003 so I'm sure Fleetwood would not be much help. probably would suggest something must be bent.
