Thank you for the reply.
I have road king shocks and felt the ride was great, particularly compared to my last two coaches. The issue arised when the left rear HCV failed. I replaced it and when I was trying to set the height to 12” realized I could not get it above 11.75. I disconnected the rod that connects the HCV to the axle and held it up by hand for quite a while. 11.75 was max height it would do. Ok then a previous poster stated the new Goodyear bags (1R11.066) were and inch shorter than the original Firestone bags and 11.75 was all I was going to get. I’m fine with that , but was concerned running them max out to get to 11.75 might degrade ride quality. NOW…. Just to further complicate the issue I ran the engine at fast idle and held the “raise “ button on the HWH for a while so I could get under the coach to purge tanks of water. Interesting enough I was able to get just over 13” of height?????? After draining the tanks I dumped all the air, hit travel mode and now I’m at just over 12”???? Hmmmmmm!?!? I’m going to take it for a ride and let it bounce around a bit and settle and then hit travel mode and remeasure.
