Question:
I have a Ford E350 1986 chassis with a vintage 22ft motorhome on it. Can I use one of your products to level it and help shift some weight onto the front wheels? thanks for any help, Scott

Hello Scott, thanks for reaching out. We do offer one air bag kit that will fit your 1986 Ford E350 motorhome, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88138. These are 5,000 lb capacity air bags so they will do a great job of leveling your ride and helping to shift a bit of that weight to the front. They can be filled all the way up to 100 PSI, but you likely will not need to go near that high to level the ride. The adjustability will allow you to fine-tune your suspension to where it will level the ride while improving ride quality, stability and braking. Keep in mind that some drilling will be required for installation.
You also have the option of adding an onboard compressor, and for that I recommend the following:
- Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL25980EZ

Hey Scott, how did things work out with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 on your E350 motorhome? Did it give you the leveling and weight shift you were hoping for? Your update could make it easier for others working with older chassis setups.
