Ride height

My 92 u400 is leaning to one side. I know that there is an adjustment to raise height. My question is what is the right ride height and where do you measure from?

Is there any reason you can't adjust to 9 inches on ride height? The roads are so full of holes I wonder if an extra inch would help from bottoming out

You asked that same exact question a month ago, and got what I thought was a good answer.

air bag driving height 8.5 inches

The factory ride height spec was determined by the engineers who built the coach.  If you wish to disregard their advice, then you can set the ride height anywhere you desire.  It is your coach, so DWMYH.

Chuck. Good points. U joints being out of factory angles, the entire package is important. I believe I'll change all 3 ride height valves with the airbags and dial in at 8.5
