I need to adjust my front ride height up about 1" from the existing 12 1/8" to the speck'd 13 1/8". How many turns on the adjustment bolt for the pork chop, is equal to 1"?
Thanks

Seems like "6" turns works.

Be sure and use an Unloader tool, else you'll strip the bolt/square nut.

Thanks all. I thought it was about 6 to the inch, but wanted a confirm. Will be using a Unloader tool for sure, and thanks Jim. If I need bars, you'll be the first I call.

Larry,
Seldom do we see the height the same on both sides. I learned from Jim
Bounds many years ago a method I call the " TriCycle " method of leveling
the coach.
If interested, call me and I will explain it.
