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!

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.

Actually, your Chevy/Workhorse P chassis has "air bag assist inside front coil springs".
This is not "air ride", and certainly not applicable to the OP's diesel pusher.

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???
