If it's like mine it's in the middle near the front axle.

And if you are claustrophobic, It sucks & is scary trying to wiggle under the coach. Best to find a place with a pit you can use to do what you want and check ride height while you are under there.

I'll look again. I didn't especially like being under there. Not a lot of room for sure

I wouldn't get under it unless it was blocked up. As I recall. Once you get to the central location at the axle and air valve, There is a lot more room.

I would be happy to share our pit with you or any one else. We live in SW Missouri. RV garage will handle a 40 ft rig. Pit is 10ft long and 4ft wide. You could live in it while getting things done. 50 amp service, no dump. Have a great day. ---- Fritz

Using blocks when adjusting the front ride height is a huge pain. Measure, block, crawl under, adjust, measure, block... I do block it but can understand anyone's decision to go for it and hope for the best.

I just drive up on blocks in front high enough that bags deflated wouldn't kill me then run engine, wait for governor to shut off, set 8" height, done.

That's where having a trusted buddy would come in handy to measure & adjust the rear & measure the front while you stay stationed under the front.

Do you drive onto blocks with the rear at the same time? As I thought the coach has to be on level ground. Or is being super level ground overly nit picky.

For front ride height you don't have to be level front to rear. If the front is on blocks and the back is out of level you would have to get the total for both front and divide by 2. I just happen to be level left to right at the rear where I park.

So can I assume the front ride height valve is in the middle by the axle and only one of them unlike two in the rear?

CORRECT. That is why you check/adjust rear ride height FIRST. Then the front.

Have you tried to order any recently? Three months ago NAPA in Tennessee said none were available in their system.

The black rubber crutch tip with some holes drilled worked for me...........thanks to someone here on the forum.

I forgot about Find-It, but when they add shipping and handling they got expensive.

Did a yahoo search on part number and found them way cheaper than Napa. They are OEM as well. I believe I paid $17 each and it includes the filter as well

Yep. Front one is by the axle tucked up high. Thanks
