Yes, as you may know the 2003 Four Winds Thor 32R was built on a Ford F-53 chassis. Therefore, in order to install airbags on this chassis. You would want to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57140 for the front and part # AL57410 for the rear. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 will help level your motorhome, improving braking and ride comfort while reducing the strain on your factory suspension.

In order to operate the airbags from inside the vehicle, I recommend using the Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System for Air Springs part # AL25572. This kit comes with a heavy duty compressor, 2 gallon air tank, analog compressor gauge, and everything else needed for installation.
