1,000-lb Capacity. Air Lift 1000 molded polyurethane air springs fit inside your Winnebago Sightseer Motorhome's existing front coil suspension. They provide support for better handling, braking, and ride quality when using snowplows or other front-end accessories.

Specs:
Using a snowplow or a winch or installing a heavy grille guard on the front of your vehicle can put unneeded stress on your suspension system. This stress not only affects your brakes in a bad way, but your tires, headlight aim and handling suffer as well. If you need more front-end support, Air Lift 1000 has you covered.
The Air Lift 1000 kit will help to keep your vehicle at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your vehicle by unloading it and measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your wheel well and the center of the hub. After you find and record this distance, you can regulate the amount of air that you send to your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are carrying a heavy front load. Simply adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.
Air Lift 1000 adjustable air springs provide 1,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity and support. They are made specifically to fit inside your front coil spring suspension for additional load assistance. You can inflate and deflate these tough, molded polyurethane helper springs as needed, ensuring the perfect amount of support for every load, every time. Easily level your vehicle front to rear, and if you run dual air lines to the air springs at installation, then you can inflate the springs independently of one another for side-to-side leveling.
Air Lift 1000 is a breeze to install with standard tools and has an easy-to-follow instruction manual. This Air Lift system comes with manual inflation valves (1 for each spring). These are typically mounted on the bumper but can be installed anywhere on your vehicle in an easily accessible area. For even more convenience and control, you can add a compressor and gauge system (sold separately), which will let you monitor and automatically inflate your air springs.
The Air Lift company is positive that you will benefit from their air spring suspension system - so much so that they offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Install and use Air Lift 1000 springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove them from your vehicle and return them for a full product refund.

1,000-lb Capacity. Air Lift 1000 molded polyurethane air springs fit inside your vehicle's existing front coil suspension. They provide support for better handling, braking, and ride quality when using snowplows or other front-end accessories.I bought these to replace the blown bladders in my 2006 Winnebago Siteseer Worsehorse chassis. I'm a handy guy but was a little nervous about cutting out the old bladders and installing the Air Lift 1000 units. I found the customer comments very helpful especially the comment on using a heat gun to pull the old bladders out. The first one took me a couple of hours to figure out, the second one took me less than an hour to deinstall old and install new.
I REALLY appreciate the hose extensions for the valves. I installed them up in the engine compartment where I can easily access them for checking and topping off the air. For the units I replaced, I had to crawl up under the rig to check and fill--no more of that nasty, dirty crawl for this senior citizen.
Filled to 60 PSI, the first drive was noticeably different, the handling feels much stiffer than it had. We're launching out on a 3,600-mile road trip in the next couple of weeks, I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle on the open road.
My advice to folks-- the installation seems daunting, but the results are well worth the challenge. I encourage you to try this product.

Removing old bag: I found that using a heat gun helps tremendously in removing the old bag. Heating it to almost the melting point then sticking a large knife to cut it in pieces and pulling out the bottom.
Installing the new one: I used gear hose clamps after rolling it up and using dish soap as a lubricant helped a lot.

I’m in my 70’s and installed them myself in my driveway. Class A Motorhome with Workhorse chassis Worked good on my low mile unit. Will not correct bad coil springs that are wore out
First thing, Sorry if the photos are sideways! I took a couple of pics of the air bags because on the site it looks as if they are too skinny to work but NO they are the right size for your P30 Chevy Motorhome. The price was right for the complete kit as shown in the photo with the lines, bags, shields and other little bits for mounting the lines on the frame.
For install, there is a set of directions and an a informational packet for those other items you may want to monitor and maintain you air bags if you so desire. The instructions are pretty good but I'll tell you that hole on the control arm at the bottom ain't that big! I put the bags in hot water to soften them up before trying the rolling and tying part and it helped. Be prepared to spend about 2 hours total to get this done but as far as being complicated, it's not. I didn't have to jack up my RV to do this either. Front suspension will now have the added support it came with back in 1987. Glad to have found this kit vs. the Firestone one that is basically the same for more $$ and many times is not in stock. Can't wait for the first trip!
I am very satisfied with Air Lift , I installed the bag's in my Georgetown Motorhome and they work perfectly after trial and air getting the pressure to the ride I wanted , to make it easier to get the same pressure in both air bag's I connected the two line's into one air valve and mounted it in the front outside compartment getting the same pressure in both at the same time and not having to go under the coach to add the air .
I purchased AirLift helper springs for my Motorhome about a year ago. Installation was a bit tricky because they fit inside the coil springs but the difference they have made to my ride is impressive, no more jarring bumps from potholes and a much less stressful drive. I definitely recommend these air bag helper springs and thanks to eTrailer for their service.
Doc - 06/08/2020 Doc - 06/08/2020I replaced the defective front air bags in a 2002 Workhorse P32 Allegro motorhome and they have performed well so far.
Be aware that installation is not for the novice mechanic as seems to be indicated in the installation instructions.
Also purchased the Air Lift Load Control II Compressor system for ease of use.
JoeE - 08/18/2017The installation was more challenging than l expected but the function is ideal for the comfort that do provide!
A bit of a chore to install (was actually harder for me while removing the old ones!) - just get some video "how-to's" for great tips & tricks! Really stabilized our front end on our Class-A (Workhorse chassis) motorhome! :)
We bought our motor home used, a 2007 Winnebago 30B on the Workhorse platform. The original equipment front air bags were no longer viable. I ordered the Air Lift 1000 airbags from etrailer.com and installed them myself. It was a struggle but finally got them worked into place. The Air Lift bags made all the difference in the world as far as stabilization of the motor home driving down the highway. Excellent product! I run about 65 psi and that seems to be the right pressure for this motor home. Thanks to Air Lift for a great product and thanks to etrailer.com for great pricing and fast shipping!!
Experience was great
Ernie - 03/01/2022I ordered my products in the middle of the Corvid 19 shutdown. I was wondering if I would be able to order and receive my new Airlift airbags during this time. It was very nice to not only order them but to receive them in just a few days. With these new parts I will be able to continue the repairs on my RV and get it ready for what I hope will be a fun and relaxing summer. I'm glad y'all are still there to support people like myself!

Works well, smoothed out some of the bigger bumps, and front end sway.
Outstanding customer service. My product arrived on time!!! Well done and thank you to the trailer staff. Greg S was on point!
Great product, Great service behind it, I had problem when I received the item when I first received it as one of the air bags was damaged, however all it took was a call to etrailer and problem was resolved right away. They shipped out next day a replacement and have had these on my 2000 Winnebago Adventurer for over a year now and all is great.
Used inside coil springs on front of a class A motorhome chassis. No leaks - pressure holding after a year of installation. I would recommend these airbags to anyone
The sales person was very helpful and answered all my questions quickly and accurately. I placed my order in a matter of minutes.
Shipping was free and arrived much quicker than I expected. With all that is happening in our country right now, no one wants to work
and the ones that do are all but useless, it very nice to work with people that care. I will definitely buy again and highly recommend!
Haven't installed air bags yet. They appear to be a very high quality and what should last a long time. Etrailer was pleasant to deal with. If the need for more airbags comes up I will be happy to deal with etrailer again. Thank you for the fast shipping
It’s night and day when these are inflated. Wow what an amazingly smoother ride. Highly recommend.
These were challenging to install - I actually ended up pulling the springs to change out the old bags. They’re holding up well, don’t leak a bit, and show no signs of giving up any time soon.
Very happy with the transaction. I received the package on time as promised by the seller. Plan to use it to replace existing on my motorhome.
Arrived quickly and in good shape. Instructions were good, but don't even believe the part about easy 1hr. Installation if you're a shade tree mech.
Looks good .... not a easy job to do ...looks like it will be quicker to remove the coil springs and install the air bages
Great Customer Service Thank you My Order was Shipped and Received with everything I ordered within a few Days Thank You
Great way to get a better ride for the front end of a class A moterhome
