Goodmorning all----Need the height of a 95 bird with the suspension aired up.
(top of ac) Also, with with the suspension dumped can you still pull forward
without tire rub. Thanks, Bob birdless in Illinois
Should be about 12'-6" when aired up. You can move forward with suspension
down, but you can't turn.

Be careful of non-stock items on the roof. I have a satellite TV antenna dome -- sticks way above the ACs, usually the highest item. Puts me juuuust under 13'. Dealer I bought it from said the coach cleared 12-6 with the suspension down (how they got it in the door to their shop).
Moving with the suspension dumped requires going super-slow in a straight line.

Bob,
As Ernie ahs stated, you can pull STRAIGHT forward, but you can not turn if the
suspension is dumped. My 96 is 12'8 or 9" to the top of the a/c's with the
suspension up. But the antennas stick up more than that. I typically use 13'
as my go/no go point.

My 96' is 12' 5" to the top of the air conditioners when aired up. I used a
board with a level on it and measured to the ground. (I needed 5 hands to
measure that.)
