Hi Guys

We are trying to figure out if our 76 Edgemont is supposed to be higher in
the front than the back? We just cannot seem to
get the back any higher.

Let me know if I need to measure like from the top of the tire to the edge
of the wheel well all the way around. Also the drivers side will not come
up as high as the passenger side (rear). I installed individual valves
shortly after we got it because the auto air did not work (why do people lie
to you?????)

Thanks

Ray
Pagosa Springs, CO 76 Edgemont

Yup - they look like they are going uphill all the time. I think that's why the mileage is so poor! :~)

Our Edgemonte rides tail down also. It certainly rides and looks much nicer this way than level or nose down.
Our ride height is set per the manual.

Ray,
Did you buy the Edgemonte from Peter? If so he had only owned the coach for a month or so and may not have known all it's systems. You can read all of his posts and questions in the forum archives.

As for the ride height, here is a link to JimB's Coop information section..

Good luck,
Dennis
