Title: Front coil springs with Air Helper Bags inside
Post by: Stripe on July 08, 2013, 05:53 PM
Okay, so the front coils ( Autozone Part Number: FCS6560S, Constant Rate, US $79.99) with the Air Helper Bags in @ 60 psi ea, performed with flying colors! :) :)ThmbUp
On our way to Dashpoint State park in Washington State, the front end stayed very stable, aside from a loud "Pop!" from the right spring resettling into it's keyed position (I was pretty sure I had it in there, but I guess I was pretty close) and yes Dave, laundry will be getting done..  ;)

The Rigs handling was very responsive, no riding on ocean waves when encountering bumps and such and even speed bumps were barely noticeable when pulling through the campgrounds.  It also seems like it get's up to speed a lot better now too, but I think that may be my imagination, lol.

She sits more level now and even the refrigerator door closes and seals properly now.

We may be going to Dashpoint this upcoming weekend, so like Kevin, I am going to see what 75 psi will do for the ride.  Will let you all know how that goes if it goes..

Sorry for the long delay on the 75psi report.. 

So, at 75 PSI the RV still rode smoothly.  I expected the bumps to be a bit harder but that wasn't the case. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
