Your tires sound about perfect. I have michelin but same size (at least until next week when I put michelin 275/70/22.5 on) and run 108 front and 98 rear. I've spoken with Jim at Source and he says whatever you do you need at least 7 1/4" at front bags. There is a rubber jounce bumper inside the bag that keeps the bag from going to low to damage it. If it's less than 7 1/4" per Jim it will hit that jounce and will "bottom out" and be very rough. I would definitely raise it and see what difference it makes. I suspect that might be your problem.

Just to clarify here, are you saying the ride us still harsh, or are you saying it didn't make any difference in the drive? Reason I ask, the rek on mine did not affect the drive of my coach. The ride, it made a huge difference. I've done several other things that have contributed to a much better drive. I'd be glad to talk to you anytime about what I've done and try to help you figure out your issues and "try" to make them better.

Thanks Chad, I have taken the rig back to the shop that installed the trailing arms and REK from Source Engineering. I also talked to Jim at SE. We are going to increase the front bags to 7-1/4" from 6-1/2". Hopefully that is the issue and will solve the problem.
