ride height question

Yahoo Message Number: 73684
Both rears measure about 7 3/4" from frame rail to air-bag plate (spec sheet says 7 1/2" on rear - seems close enough).
But, not sure how/where to measure the front ride height? (specs says 6 1/2" but doesn't say where/how to measure that). Is it from the top to bottom of air-bag...because that's like 7 or 8"?
Anyway, drivers side front (LF) is about 1/2" to 3/4" lower than right front. I know the RH valve fixes travel for both sides at once, but how do you adjust just one of the front wheels? Or, could this be a valve going/gone bad?
I know some allow for crest in road & keep LF abit lower...but both rear heights seem about the same.

On a 3 valve system, the rear Left and Right valve adjust rear height as well as left to right tilt. The front valve does height of the front only.

Reply for my rig from Country Coach:
"For the rear, measure from the bottom of the frame to the lower Air Spring Mounting plate. It should be 8 7/16" +/- 1/8".
For the front, from the bottom of the frame to the lower Air Spring Mounting Plate it should measure 8 ½".
If the rear is off by more than ½" have someone check the `U-Joints" on the drive shaft, because it is possible to damage them.
