front air suspension

We have a '89 32' Regency on a Gillig chassis equipped with air suspension. As outlined in the Gillig manual, the rear suspension "bleeds" the air after stopping. My question is: does the front air bags bleed out also? Just from appearances while parked level--it's in storage now-- it seems that the front suspension does not bleed out as much as the rear and the front nose is measurably higher than the rear. Could this just be the rear axle weight difference versus the front, or are the front air suspension bags possibly not releasing air?
Thanks, Kelly Reynolds

They all leak down eventually.
Sometimes front first sometimes back first.
It's usually the height control valves that have small leaks.
It's no problem unless it goes down in a few hours.
