    8.75" unloaded. Ride height is for proper u-joint working angles, not ride comfort. Check shocks, cab ride height,or cab shocks?

    measurement is from axle center to bottom of frame when aired up at height.

    If easier, measure axle center to ground , measure frame to ground and subtract the two

    Adjustment is made at the leveling valve mounting. Loosen the nuts, the mounting bracket is slotted.
