For whatever it's worth we have a 2000 37'8" coach on the 20,500k GVWR chassis. I installed Firestone Ride Rite air bags on all 4 corners.
I run 20 psi in front bags and 70 psi in rear. Have the Koni FSD shocks on front suspension and Koni adjustable shocks on rear (FSD's weren't available when I replaced rear shocks). Also have the Davis Tru-Trac bar installed on front suspension and I run 80 psi in all tires.
