I am considering the Ride-Rite Airbags for the front of my 2002 Winnebago Adventurer 35U on the front leaf springs to cut down on the spring to chassis noise. Any comments or suggestions?

Why do you want to change the front end dynamics. You aren't changing the noise factor as you still have springs attached as they were before.  If you are trying to up your load factor your axle is still built for a certain amount. What is the front end doing that you want to change it.

I installed a set of ride-rite on the ft. of my 04 kountry star to try to improve the ride I think it helped a little not sure it was worth the cost

Did you have the shocks replaced by yourself or WH?  The bounce was the biggest problem with the 02-03 chassis. Placed Bilstiens on mine which greatly improved the ride. By the way wouldn't you like to become part of the "Newmar Forum Member" club its free for the asking.  "007"

I have had new Bilsteins installed all around by Workhorse, I just thought that the Ride Rite Airbags would reduce road noise a bit, is my only reason, but due to the cost of them, I have decided not to pursue this any futher.
Thanks for you input.

007, you sure knew something I didn't, I think you have a sixth sense.  I have installed these in truck camper combos so I was really curious as to why you wanted them for noise. I think your decision not to persue is the best road reagardless of cost. I think you would have been unhappy at the results for your situation.

I had installed Air-Lifts all around on a MA gas I had F-53, didn't see any use for them on WH chassis, althou they did level the MA coach. Maybe the noise is from over inflated tires  "007"
