Rear to front height

[Dean The ResourcefulNorse]

My Avion is set up a bit higher than the other GMC's that I have had. Which
I like, by the way. I have Jimmy K's mono bags and carry the coach about 3"
lower in the rear than the front. Steering is great.

Any suggestions? Too low? Level?

I love my mono bags, as I have about 3" more = - clearance on the rears,
which really helps in level. And I get my ride height at about 40psi, rather
than 100psi with the OEM bags.

I like the rear a little lower than front 3" seems like a lot but if you like it it's good.

O stick to the factory ride height. It works best for me all around. That
would be higher in front. Front is more important than rear is. You should
not stray very far away from factory front specs. Has to do with anti dive,
and more.

Since 1980 I have been involved about ride height discussions.
As far as the rear is concerned going higher will lead to poor handling,
lower is fine, but becareful
Front is better at stated height,
