Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Air Bags

[A Ingalls]

I have a 98 24valve and pull a o1 30 ft, Sunnybrook 5th wheel and even thou its fairly light I am into the overloads quite far making for a rough ride if Im not on a fairly smooth road.

What Im wondering is has any one out there tried adding air bags such as they sell at camping world ? or is there something better out there with out spending a whole lot. thanks enjoy the site,

I also have a near 30' Sunnybrook. Great trailer but they tend to be nose heavy. I had my rear spring pak stiffened but it still rode the Overloads. I know exactly what you mean. I went ahead and put on the Air Lift Super duty bags. Got them at camping world, they were on sale recently, not sure of they still are. Makes a HUGE difference. Last night, I picked up a pallet- 3500lbs of concrete and it hardly budged with 80Psi in the bags. You should've seen the look on the forklift operators face !!



At any rate- I would reccommend the bags for your situation. There are a number of members who are running them. I would reccommend some sort of on-board compressor for their use though. It will cost you more but is nice not to have to get in and out of the truck and find a way to air up or down. I have a few pointers for installation of the bags- should you deciede to do it e-mail me and I should be able to give you some advice.

Here is something you may want to consider. It will save you some money and you will retain the factory ride when empty also.
