Ride height specs
Ride height specs
We're having trouble finding the ride height specs for our 1999 38' Safari Zanzibar on Magnum chassis. Does anyone have the original info on this? We keep seeing 25" but varying info on the two points used to measure. Thanks!
Re: Ride height specs
You measure from the bottom of the belt line to the center of each wheel, at all for corners, coach completely level, fully loaded for travel.

Air suspension?
Torsilastic suspension?
Completely different suspensions.

My 00 trek 2430 had air ride..but previous owner put springs and super steer upgrades..I’m glad he did..my anti sway par is as big as my fist and it’s chrome moly…I drove one with original air ride..no comparison on the ride..get rid of air ride if you can
Re: Ride height specs
Actually, your Chevy/Workhorse P chassis has "air bag assist inside front coil springs".vanman1.1975@gmail.com wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 7:07 am My 00 trek 2430 had air ride..but previous owner put springs and super steer upgrades..I’m glad he did..my anti sway par is as big as my fist and it’s chrome moly…I drove one with original air ride..no comparison on the ride..get rid of air ride if you can
This is not "air ride", and certainly not applicable to the OP's diesel pusher.

@astrnmrtom - thank you for the document this will be helpful!
Re: Ride height specs
So, you DO have the torsilastic suspension.
What is your current RIDE HEIGHT at each wheel position AND how many ride height shims left at each wheel position???
