F-53 Chassis Air Bag Questions
So I keep learning about our 1999 Holiday Rambler Vacationer 32 CG built on the F-53 chassis. I knew going in the suspension was going to need some upgrades. The rear end hangs a little low so I bought an Air Lift AL57410 Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for the rear and went to install them today. They are supposed to fit the F-53 chassis. I don’t know what it is called but there is a an area below the floor but above a sheet metal pan where they run piping, duct work, and other stuff I assume. The seam for this sticks down below the top level of the frame rail and is in the way to install the upper bracket. I worked in a body shop years ago so I am able to cut out the piece I would need to and re-flash and seal it. All that said has anyone here run into this? Would the firestone air bags fit differently? I went with the air lift because they are suppose to have a bump stop inside them that the firestones don’t have. I have one other question. Under the OEM leaf springs there are two blocks. Is this OEM or did some add this trying raise the back of the coach?
