No issue that I have ever heard of, John. The weight distribution on the Clasco is like most GMCs while the Royale is heavier in the rear because the passenger side rear compartment holds four 6vdc golf cart batteries. Both coaches drive well, reach proper ride height quickly after being lowered for dumping, and are easy to level up to the limits of GMC rear travel. The only downside is a bit more of an old Buick like floaty ride which you get used to very quickly. The Clasco was a bi*ch to level before I removed those monster Caspro rear sway bars!

Thanks Jerry !
So I understand that you saying that 90 to 100 psi(Plus or Minus bepending on other loads) will lift you to limits and that is with bag extenders
Right? It also sounds like your Weight distribution is a little different than most. I find it intersting that the remote air system has a manifold
max pressure of 100psi. I have one question re the extenders. Now that the bag is further out on the Levers of the suspension arm, They have a
better mechanical advantage,(Hense lower pressures needed to achieve lift). But we know that for one advantage we lose something. In this case,
increased distances that the bag has to deform over that OEM range of movement. Is this causing any problems with used bags??

Best Regards
