The front airbags were not working correctly when we got Homer. after alot of re-search i found it was nessessary to have the bags in working condition. i did not know why it was not working and easier to replace than troubleshoot the issue. new bag kit was $70. this is the kit from Airlift 81560

1st thing is to remove the old bags. here is a shot of the pass side. the bottom hose was just hanging disconnected.

here is the line hanging off the bag.

ok-1st drill out the bottom of theag with a 1 1/2" hole saw without the centering bit. then push the old airbag as high as you could go and remove the bottom insulator dise. then put a good pair of vicegripps on the bottom of the bag and twist to roll the bag on itself and pull it thru the bottom hole in the A arm. when out remove the top insulator and the air line. here is the old bag (i am told the shape is normal and fine...

Here is the old and new bag and lines.

ok- getting the new bag in was some work. i put some wheel bearing grease on the lower control arm to assit getting the bag in. then get out as much air as possible of the new bag. i followed the directions as best i could. i then sealed the bag with the stock cap and made the top end into a point and the rest roll like a snail shell and sorta screwed it up in the control arm. when 1/2 way in put the top insulator on the top point of the bag (some grease will hold it in place then get the rest of the bag in the spring. onece the bag is in then push it as high as you can and install the lower insulator thru tje spring and guiding the fill tubr thru the hole. then unscrew the cap and let the air bag fill naturally.

route the air lines out of the way of moving parts abd secure to the frame

i did not like the original spot so i found a new spot on the front sub frame. here is the completed install on the pass side.

Here is the pass side when done and the bags filled to 60 PSI. Homer is 4" taller in the front now. now to the drivers side Time to complet so far 1 1/2 hours

ok drill the air valve out and repeat the process to remove the bag from the drivers side

without the airbag and the full weight on the front spring there is not much suspension travel. i see why the bags are so importaint.

here is the new driver side air bag and lines

here is the new bag in place and ready for the air line.

run the line out of the way of moving parts

here is the new install spot on the drivers side sub frame. what a difference this has made on the ride of the motorhome. almost like new. at least a new ride for me. one i like alot. totoal time 3 hours 15 min.
