Question:
Hello. I have a 2020 ford f53 30.3 motorhome. I am having trouble scraping my steps and levelers. Do you have available to lift this body one to two inches? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome back Michael. I don't have any parts that are designed specifically to lift your Thor ACE motorhome but I do have a solution that will help your suspension from sagging. If your suspension is flexing because of the weight of your motorhome a set of front and rear air bags will limit how much your leaf springs will compress. This in return will raise your ride height, giving you additional clearance for your landing gear and steps.
To add a front and rear air bags to your 2020 Thor ACE 30.3 Motorhome you will need the following parts:
Front - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88240
Rear - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57344
I also recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item # AL74000EZ. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone or the included remote. This is a dual path air compressor so you'll be able to adjust the front and rear air bags separately.
Where in your travels are you running into issues with scraping the landing gear and steps?

I put the rear Loadlifters on my 32’ class A and the air compressor. I was just looking for driveway clearance and I got 1-2” at the rear. An added bonus was that driving at 50 lbs pressure really smoothed out the ride. I’m glad I installed the compressor too. Much easier then inflating and deflating manually.
