Title: Ride height question

I just measured my front ride height at 18.5 instead of 17 3/4. Is that 3/4 inch much of an issue? Also, in putting new tires on the front next week, which are 1.3 inches smaller in diameter, will that affect ride height setting? I am under the impression that the ride height will not change even though the front end will be a bit lower. That is to say, the front end can be thought of as a monolithic structure that will move as a unit with the smaller tires. I am not sure what the ride height valve is attached to since the coach has IFS instead of a hard axle. How difficult is it to adjust and how? Lyle Wetherholt

Lyle,

In my experience with my coach which uses the same IFS Model, I would meet the specs as given us, I believe you'll improve your ride and handling. The Ride Height Adjustment "device" is mounted in the middle of the "Sway Bar" it is very easy to change once you figure out its mechanics. I'll try to send you a picture off-line.

Correct. The ride height will not change even though the front end will be a bit lower.
