Question:
I have a 2016 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 34TGA on a Ford F-53 chassis that has a very noticeable lean toward the front passenger side when sitting on level ground with the leveling jacks retracted. I measured the frame height at 27” LF and 25.5” RF, and the axle-to-frame measurements are 12.25” LF and 11” RF. The rear is nearly level at 26.75” LR and 27” RR, so the issue appears to be concentrated at the right front. I have installed SumoSprings on both the front and rear, but they made very little improvement to the lean. I am now considering adding front air bags so I can compensate for the passenger-side difference. Would front air bags be an appropriate solution for this, or would you recommend addressing the factory leaf spring or another suspension component first?

Expert Reply:
Hey Mark, if the lean is due to the weight in your Tiffin not being distributed evenly from left to right then yes air bags would help like with the part # AL88344 for the rear and then # AL88240 for the front. But I would first make sure your suspension is in good working order as these kits can't compensate for that. It's not unheard of that a motorhome leans so it's not for sure your suspension is bad but it would be worth checking.
