Hi Yall...
Went to the scales today,and got the rig weighed... 8460 # front, 16000 # aft (duals)... Checked my Good year tires 275/70R 22.5 on their site and found out that the front rating doesnt even hit the 85 psi mark... I was running at 110 psi.
Prior to this I lowered tire pressures to 95 psi but the ride didnt change.
While sitting at a stop light for a turn, a Jeep suv passes thru light at about 45 -50 and causes this 24,460# Bounder to rock from the air pluse...
Think I need some new shocks first...

Hi Folks
I have becoming more aware of how my 39N Fleetwood Bounder (2006 / 20K miles) is riding, after several road trips, before the long haul..
This time down to the Keys... The MH feels like shes all over the road with bouncing and doesnt ride much better than the 92 YJ with oversize tires I tow. Small changes in pavement conditions are very noticeable as well as the feeling I am sliding, particularily on curves at a cautious speed below speed limit...
The sensations are a combination of driving a Jeep and being in two boats at once, power and sail.
My tire pressure is at 110-115 for front end according to chart, got good air pressures 125 plus...
Rig has air bag shocks? as well as shock absorber on rear side.
Any recommendations on what I should inspect, check or modify would be welcome... additonally where would you bring the unit... an rv dealer or truck repair center?
Best regards
Thanks in advance!
