    Sounds to me like you have to much air and bags are extended all the way out.
    OR you have no air in the bags.
    What do your bags look like? Can you post picture of them?

    You don't have enough air in them then.
    Careful driving it, your drive shafts are on a bind and you can take out a bearing in the rears or tranny.

    Are you loaded or empty, bobtail?
    Call freighliner and they will tell you where, how and what measurement to use.

Thought I needed a new valve. Decided to adjust one more time.Luckily they stayed at the right height. The valves are sensitive and patience is needed when adjusting.
