Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2000 Fleetwood Class C RV With Ford E350

Question:

I have a 26 ft Fleetwood Class C RV with 2000 Ford E350. The rear sags a little and the front steering seems to be light. I was wondering if the Firestone system would correct the issue and improve the ride quality of the RV. Also, i couldnt really tell what I needed to purchase. Can you give me some advice?

For your 2000 Fleetwood with Ford E350, I recommend the 2000 Ford Van Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle, # F2061. This 3,200 lb capacity air spring system will enhance the safety and stability of your motorhome. It will reduce strain on your rear axle and keep the vehicle level which can even enhance your front steering. The air springs are adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi

I also recommend the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Front Axle, # F4101. These springs fit inside existing coal springs to help level your vehicle and improve braking, handling, and reduce tire wear. This will improve your steering you were concerned about and the balance of your vehicle.

For the best functionality of this system and to put control at your fingertips, I recommend the Firestone Air Command II - Analog - Heavy Duty Compressor & Air Tank - Dual Function - 150 psi, # F2168. This will give you in cab gauges and push buttons to level two pair of air springs to your desired pressure.
