In preparing for a short weekend trip I noticed that the drivers side airbag had a leak and woouldn't hold any air. My mechanic says ok to do the trip but reduce the air in the other bag to 20lbs. I did not notice any difference in the handling or ride during the 65 mile round trip...some freeway some mountain roads with 7% grade. I thought I would notice something ...I've had this rig for 10 years. What gives.

SS260 springs are the answer!

Check your ride height with the bags deflated. You may be sitting on the stops or have very little ride ht. Like others mine was low and I went with the HD coil springs without the air bags from Henderson.

It will knock out the alignment. I wore down the side of a tire because of a bag that went flat.

Check your tow in/out before you see metal in your front tires based on our experience. You can do it with a tape measure and two makes it go faster.

We tossed the bags forever.

SS260 was the size we needed to do away with the air bags.
