    Can someone tell me how to adjust the ride height on my 07 780? Also, I read in another thread that the top of the frame rail should be even with the top of the tires on the rear axle. Is this true? If not, can someone tell me the proper measurement?

    on the passenger side there is a hole in the frame, you will need to loosen on the frame(inside) and use the 2 pin adjustment tool to correctly set the ride height. volvo is differnet than all other makes except the macks

    Make sure you get it right or you will cause even bigger problems for yourself.
