Air Lift Air Bags for 2016 Class C E-350 Motorhome

Hey Lorraine! For your 2016 Ford E-350 Class C motorhome, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88138. These have a 5,000 lb load-support capacity and built-in jounce bumpers that provide additional support even when the air pressure is low. They'll help reduce rear sag and keep your suspension from bottoming out.

For a wireless compressor, you have two options. The Air Lift WirelessONE # AL25980EZ adjusts both air bags together to help keep your motorhome level front to back. The Air Lift WirelessAIR # AL74000EZ is a dual-path system that lets you adjust each air bag independently, which is useful if you need to correct side-to-side sag. Both include a wireless remote and smartphone control, so you can adjust the pressure without manually filling the bags.

Where are you headed once you get the air bags installed?

Thank you Robin, I just returned from a trip to Central Coast in California and then to Laughlin Nevada and always have issues when entering or exiting steep driveways. The overhang is sooo close to sewer and tail pipe). The skids do an ok job , but the airbag system sounds like a better solution. My driveway is the worst, so I would love to add a system that will assist me so I can use my motorhome more often. I live on the coast in Los Angeles where traffic is bad and the gas prices are ridiculous so getting away and enjoying my rig without worrying about spending so much time and effort to “build up” the rear end with mats and lumber would make a more fun experience.

@LorraineK the air bags will help reduce rear sag and keep the suspension from compressing as much, which can improve clearance in certain situations. However, they aren't a lift kit, so if your motorhome is already sitting at its normal ride height and the issue is strictly the rear overhang scraping on steep driveways, they may not solve that problem. I just want to make sure you know what to expect before investing in the setup!
