8 1/2 in front and 8 in back, plate to plate, so the rear is a tad low and then add a 20 foot cargo trailer and that's possibly trouble

Ride height valves don't care about how much weight is added, their job is to raise the coach to set height. Set the rear bags to 8.5 "

AND in the rear, you have TWO ride height valves.  ONE in front.

8.5" from below the lower plate to above the upper plate.

The plates are 1/4" thick.  Together, that is 1/2". 

SO, 8" "between the plates"= 8.5" below/above plates.

SAME DIMENSION.

On flat ground, coach in travel mode:

Start in the back-- in front of the rear wheels.  Set it to spec.

Then check front-- behind front wheels.  There is only a single ride height valve here, so you set to "average" of spec.
