Well, think I figured out the issue with the 'high rider' problem with a 2" above normal ride height with my new T bars. After plunking down the money for the adjustable PC's and pulling the old ones out, I see that setting the adjustable ones at stock height did not match the ones I had. Either the PO had them changed to give the coach some additional lift or they were original equipment. I'm leaning toward the latter as some here have stated there were more than one angle PC available. The old PC's were about 3/8" different from what would normally be the stock angles. Anyway, it looks a LOT better lowered so I'm a happy camper (almost).
On another note I put the scales under the front and got a pretty good idea how much weight has been added with the diesel swap. It looks like 450 lbs more than before although some of the weight is the additional 2 house batteries up front and shifting the new fuel tank forward. The rear of the new tank is where the center cross member between the original tanks were so it has shifted some weight forward. I'll get scales under all wheels and see what the real total is soon.
