alex g Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 You may have two leveling valves. You'll need to adjust one. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57153-air-ride/#findComment-422454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Technician Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Frame pitch. Jack your front axle off the ground 5” and both tandem will have even geometry. Trust the suspension gauge to set height and never lean on visual interpretation.

Quickfarms Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Did you actually measure the air bags and frame height when the truck is actually sitting on a level concrete pad?How much difference are we talking? Are you measuring the bag height from mounting surface to mounting surface?Are both rear suspensions the same?A change in components over the years could create a slight difference.What is the truck, year model?

j hancock Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Get the ride heights specs from the dealer or a good truck shop using your VIN. Park it on a level surface and see what you have for heights in comparison to the factory information. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Mack Technician Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Think he is going to need the Hendrickson Chicken Gauge to set it. Google “Mack Service Bulletin SB136012”. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57153-air-ride/#findComment-423002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
