I *finally* got around to adjusting my (VERY low) front ride height...
I’ve got it reasonably close now - but was thinking I often carry a ~350 lb scooter on a rear bumper hitch rack and it likely affects the front ride height... Perhaps when I was low - it was affecting the front height to a larger degree?
Has anyone ever measured the difference in front ride height - with & without a load like that on the rear bumper? We’ve got a trip coming up I’m not sure I’ll be able to adjust it again before we leave...

I sometimes tow a ~4000# trailer with my coach, The tongue weight is approx 400#. I've never measured it, but if the front end height changes when I add that load to the hitch, I don't notice it

Yes - I was thinking that some of the tongue weights must be a similar load!
Thanks for the reply.
