Leveling a class A

If the back wheels of my RV are 1.75% lower than the front wheels (Clinometer app on my cell phone). Assuming that there is 20 feet between the front and back wheels. How high would I need to raise the back wheels to level the RV? Assume that the RV is level from side to side.

    1.75% is 1.75 feet rise or drop per 100 feet of run. A 20' wheelbase would mean .35 feet or 4.2" difference.

    Interesting problem. I like Yaj's answer, but I need a bit of clarification.

    What exactly is the 1.75%? An angle? A percentage of the drop in inches from the front axle plane? I can't quite wrap my brain around that percentage number.

    If it is a DP then the ride leveler valves and bags can fix it. Freightliner checks and corrects at their factory shop in Gaffney
