    Anyone have a W900 with the AG100 suspension? If so, could you take a measurement for me? I need to know how high your frame is measured from the bottom of the frame rail to the ground.

    You can put it in any of the 5 adjustment holes. Buy the factory leveling valve rod it isn't adjustable.

    That will vary because of the different tire sizes out there. I think the proper measurment for the ride height on a AG100 should be 10" from bottom of frame to center of axle.

    If you post the last six of your vin @spsauerland or @pushbroom can look the specs up for you.

    Thanks. According to the thread below I think he's saying it should be 10.5" measured from the front seam on the rear axle housing to the bottom of the frame but when I have the leveling rod in the highest position it's below 9" bobtail. I'm not 100 percent the current rod is OEM so knowing a few numbers and where exactly to measure from on those numbers would be great.

    1994 KW W900 with 5EK Cat. 10" ride height center of axle to bottom of frame. OEM P/N for your linkage is 3178673. KW used to measure bag height which should be 8" +/- 1/8" from top of bag plate to bottom of bottom plate.

    Just went and measured the linkage and it's only about 8.75" putting my ride height at the same number. I looked up the part number you gave and according to the cross reference linked below the OEM rod is indeed 10 inches in length. Looks like I have some butchered up DIY rod/linkage on there now that could very well be the source of my highway speed vibration issues. Thanks for the help, gentlemen.
