The first time I pulled our new to us coach into our shop, it cleared by a credit  card thickness. I had the gravel driveway scraped down for more clearence.

I not sure if this is true of every MCI, but mine and the others I have looked at have valves you can turn that empty the air bags. Again, on mine, for the rear, the two valves are on the inside fender well, on the curb side  in the rear engine compartment, for the front, two air bags, the valves are in the driver side lower compartment below the electric panel.

Simply turn the valve and the bags deflate and sit on the stops.

that will drop my bus 8".

If your bus does have these valves, turn them SLOWLY both to open and to close, 40K lbs moving up or down 8" in a split second could be dangerous.

Good Luck.

On my unit those are manual valves to dump the air in the tag axle air bags. The electric switch next to the drivers seat will DECREASE (something like 60%) the air in the tag axle bags simply for more traction on the drive axle.

Scott, that's what I posted on 10/28.

Well, it fit!  The bus is inside - warm and dry.
Now what we perceive as sunrise is when the guys show up at work and flip on the lights.
It's very dark and very quiet... but we don't mind and it's temporary.

But, while we're inside, this is the perfect time to get some work done on the old girl.
