Question:
I have a 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun Class-C Motorhome, 319-DS, E-450 Super Duty, Ford Triton V-10, 6.8 Liter Gasoline, 32-11, Big Foot Hydraulic Leveling Jacks, LT 225/75R16 Tires. VIN: 1FDXE4FS0FDA25106 I tow a 2006 Jeep Liberty Limited, 4x4, 3.7 Liter, V-6 CYL I am interested in Rear Suspension Enhancementinch possibilities for my unit. The standard factory Firestone Air Bags currently on my motorhome leaks air too frequently, hence making the ride very rough to say the least. Also, I must admit that in some instances our unit may exceed its maximum load by a little bit. I am interested in considering installation of either one of the following: 1. Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle - Heavy Duty - Item # F22ZR. 2. Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle - Heavy Duty - Item # AL88242. Please advise which of these would be a better fit for my motorhome. I am seeking your expertise and open to your recommendations and/or suggestions in this matter. After conferring with you and ordering the proper kit, I will seek a Professional Service Center for installation. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the pictures! For your 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F22ZR. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift kits like item # AL88242.
These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your motorhome when you are flat towing your Jeep Liberty. All the mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation and are custom fit.
I do highly recommend not overloading your motorhome and going over it's listed capacity. That is going to be a contribution to the rough ride you're experiencing.
