Title: 1994 Patriot Savanna Ride height
Post by: Todd Brunner on February 13, 2016, 06:18:11 PM

I recently replaced all of my leveling valves and rear air bags on my coach. I have been adjusting the ride height but I'm not 100% sure where it should be. Before replacing the levelers the original heights were: front left 7 7/8, front right 7 1/8, and the rears were 11" at the front of the bag and 12" at the rear. My manual was destroyed by a water leak in the coach before I bought it. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Sorry I should have mentioned that it is on a Spartan chassis.

I was able to find where to measure the ride heights in the Spartan manual. What I cannot find is which chassis my coach has. The plaque that was sent with the coach to Beaver appears to be missing. It is the 33' model. I am trying to purchase shocks for the vehicle and I'm having problems determining the exact model. Any help would be appreciated.

There are members here with similar coaches.  I'm surprised they haven't offered at least some chassis info for you.

Perhaps you can get numbers off the old shocks to cross reference new ones?

Todd,
My first Beaver was a 1993 36 foot Patriot on a Spartan chassis with the 8.3 liter 300 HP Cummins, and from the best that I could tell, the chassis was built to Beaver specs instead of being a standard production chassis. However, most but not all of the chassis components matched the Spartan Mountain Master chassis.
