""G'day,

Ken Frey sets the front ride height by setting the front wheels straight
ahead and putting a level on top of the right and left axles. He adjusts the
torsion bars until the bubble is centered.

He noted this method compensates for different size tires.

Comments?""

I can see how that would work. What I don't know is whether the axle shafts are completely horizontal in the design position (original tire size and specified trim heights). If so, then this is OK. The axle shaft angles should be a good indication of
front suspension geometry without worrying about tire size.

After you have done the 'side to side' leveling or correction of the coach, put a magnetic level on the front drive shafts and level them. To do the rear height, hold a straight edge on the center of each wheel. The bogie grease zerks should be in line with the wheel centers.
