Usually you measure the height of the air bag from top to bottom. It is usually around 5 to 5 1/4".
cumminsISB Thanks this. -
Got another qustion...How is the leveling valve installed with the two airlines at the top and the one at the bottom or the two at the bottom and the one on top?
-
Good question, look at the valve and see if one port says delivery or supply. I'm not sure without looking at one.

We just adjust the height so that the back of the sleeper is level.
This is presuming the frame is level while checking the sleeper.
I'm sure there is a factory spec (as possibly mentioned before) but checking it with a level is how we have done it and
it seems to work out just fine....I'm curious now and will measure what my result is to see how close it is...
I usually hold a level to the bottom edge of the sleeper (just above the tanks) and have a buddy adjust the valve until the
bubble in the level is centered. Of course it could be eye balled as well..
As I posted in another thread, the minute I actually did this on my own KW, the ride was immediately improved and fantastic now. -
Hanadarko Thanks this.
