Question:
I have a 2021 Minnie Winnie M22 and a Ford E-350 frame. I would like to install air bags on the rear to give it more ground clearance and improve the ride. Which make of air bags would work best?

Hi Mike; it looks like the 2021 Minnie Winnie M22 has dual rear wheels so the best option is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2061. Firestone air bags have a superior construction with four layers of reinforced rubber and their rolled crimp seal to keep them anchored. This makes them the most reliable by far. These have a 5,000 lb load-leveling capacity, come with a lifetime warranty on the air springs, and are made in the USA.
I also recommend adding an air compressor so you can control the pressure no matter where you go. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ is a great option for a motorhome. This compressor comes with a remote and can also be controlled through the app. It will also automatically maintain the air pressure you set which is especially nice if you're up in the mountains or other areas with up and down terrain.
