    Anyone know the ride height on an 86" aerocab? I'm changing bags and shocks and leveling valve, I know I measure between the upper and lower bump stops just don't know how much. I googled it and got a pdf file on the day-cab KW,but nothing on the bunk.Local dealer is no help either,he wants me to bring it in so he can take a look @ it.

    if you keep stock rod ride height would not differ.

    really in EU and USA semi height is limited with 4 meter for truck maker and 4.1 m (13' 6") for truck user (so 0.1 m overheight is allowed). Recheck trailer height in fifth wheel area to avoid clearance issues.

    really hi trucks are in UK (5 m) and mid east (no cops, LOL)

    Ride height depends on which suspension that you have. I'm sure it's an air ride, so it could be AG380, AG400, AG460. The ride height for the AG400 is 9" which is the most common. The difference from the centerline of the wheel to the bottom of the frame is where your ride height would come from, and that should be 9" if you have the AG400. The AG460 would be 10.5" for comparison. Good luck.

    The bags and shocks I'm changing are on the cab (back of sleeper) not the suspension. My current hight is less than 1 " between the stops under the bunk, so I know I need to adjust the rod just don't know the spec.
