There are many factors in the handling of the RV than just the size of the wheels. If it's 19.5" wheels you want then you can put them on most any class C. Vision and Rickson both make 19.5" wheels to fit heavy duty pick-up trucks. I would think they would also fit a MH.

They can be helpful not only in softening the ride, and but in balancing weight between the axles by changing the 'rake' of the coach, shifting more/less weight to the front for better handling. Typical air pressure used will be 50-80psi, but should never exceed 100psi. These springs use an air line like an air shock. They can leak down a little in normal use. I think they would be helpful on any Class C, though more so on the ones 28-30ft long.

Where do these airbags get mounted , mount where OEM shocks were or is there an additional place for them ?

If you
Purchase them from an aftermarket supplier they will come with the mounting hardware.

They are not hard to install.

Do you take OFF the OEM shocks or anything else ?

Chargerman · 10-20-2017, 09:48 AM

There are different manufacturers but I don’t think any use the stock shock location. Best to do some searching on line then contact them for their specific method.

To the OP, there are too many variables,
from some of the post here there is a lot of comparing apples to oranges...
a short rv in either a B or C cannot be compared to a 40+ foot class A...
but I know which one I prefer of some of the rv's we've owned

Mine has 22.5" wheels, so just depends on which Class C you look at.
