Title: Raising the ground clearance
Post by: slbag66691 on September 04, 2017, 03:46:34 pm
Hello out there in LD land, we own a 2014 27' mid bath, and the hanger for the black water tank broke off during our last outing, which got me concerned about my ground clearance, which I always have been, we have a curb with a steep drive off into the street, anyways here is my question...can the LD's ground clearance be raised? If so how? Thanks in advance and safe driving to all.

"...we have a curb with a 'steep' drop off..."

How steep is steep? I have a 4" drop to the street from the end of my RV drive. The attached link provided the solution for my situation, no high centering for me.  ;)

These rubber ramps are built like the proverbial outhouse and come in 4", 6" and 8" heights. You need to buy as many sections as it takes to span your drive or your tire tracks.

That's interesting.  Our 2009 MB doesn't have a black tank hanger.  So does anyone have a picture of this part?  Thanks in advance.

Use this kit along with an Air Lift, onboard air compressor.
LoadLifter 5000 ULTIMATE with internal jounce bumper | Air Lift Company -... (https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/88242/)
The air bags can safely be run empty, for a normal ride and lifted, for steep driveways, controlled by the dash switch
Does your LD have skids, in the rear?

Steve's mat is a much cheaper and simpler solution.
