I’m thinking about adding some front air bags to my Class A RV to improve the ride.
Has anyone done this and did it improve the ride?
I have researched the Air Lift 5000 kit for my Workhorse chassis and it isn’t cheap so hopefully someone has some experience with the same or similar application before I dive into the deep end.
Thanks.
 
I’ve got air ride on mine. It’s a dream
I don't think air ride and air bag are the same thing?

I need to do something with my front suspension on my workhorse, it sits very low now, I think the leaf springs are shot. Interesting to see the responses.

I have an old set of bags off of something.... been thinking of building brackets for them for my moho.

04 Workhorse chassis 80k miles
I already have the koni shocks and sumo bumps but there are still some really bad spots on the highway. Specifically hwy58 tehachapi grade is the worst, then I40 between barstow and havasu can get nasty.

I'd agree my front end looks kinda low, 2-3 inches max from the sumo stops touching.
The other thought is just putting the air bag loose on bottom where the bump stop is now and using it for both bump plus air ride, add a rubber pad for noise/slapping the spring.

This is my problem as well, mine are sitting on top of the Sumo Stops, limiting suspension to 2-3 inches max. I was thinking of replacing Leaf Springs, but need to find a place that can do it, it is above my pay grade...
