New shocks or leaf spring?

[thmitch79]

Don't want to sound ignorant but I don't know what to do here. 2003 Southwind, rig is leaning to the passenger side, it sits 2 inches lower than the drivers side. . F53 chassis, leaf springs and shocks up front. How do I trouble shoot the issue to add a helper spring or replace the shocks? Will just replacing the shocks do the job? My biggest fear is a bent frame. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you need new springs on both sides. 🙂

Shocks are dampeners, they are not designed to accommodate load. Have a competent shop inspect the springs and frame. Might just be worn out springs, which replacement would remedy.

Replace the springs

Shocks do not provide lift, the role of shocks is to dampen movement, make it more comfortable over bumps and dips.

I just replaced all of my springs and it raised the RV almost 2 inches.
