When I look at my truck from the side the rear of the sleeper/cab looks low.
Does anyone know the factory height spec for the cab air ride?
This would also help with the noise issue I have been fighting because the pipe from the turbo to the Y pipe is close to the frame.
Thanks for the help!!

I would just adjust the leveling valve rod until the cab and bunk all look even.

I measured mine and it is 11 inches from the top of the frame rail to the bottom of the sleeper. I measured mine on both sides and they are the same. My truck is a 2007 with a Stratosphere sleeper. It has 2 air bags under the sleeper.

Well, I finally got a chance to check into the height sensor. I moved it up and down and the cab will not go higher than 9 1/2" on driver's side and about 10" on passenger. I can air it out and raise it up again but it stops at the same place.
This cab has two air bags at about the middle of the sleeper and four shocks. Could one of the shocks be broken inside and not letting the cab go all the way up?
I measured the front of the cab and it is about 10 1/2" from the frame to the floor so the 11" number sounds right for the rear. When I aired it out a bit the height was even on both sides so it seems to me there s something screwy in one of the shocks.
This thing will ride like a Cadillac if I can get the cab suspension working!!

sure one of the bags isn't leaking a bit? I doubt it would be your shocks stopping it from going up?
