I fixed the leak issue. Just traded trucks so we should be good with stableloads and no air bags. Will let you know when I get the truck set up.

Well, it's actually setting on spring steel which sags/flattens, too. ;)
Im hoping my Supersprings do flatten out some. After 5 years of hauling one of the heaviest campers out there my truck still rides higher in the rear. Im waiting but these steel beasts just won't give in.
I'll see your AF1140 and raise you 2,000lbs... And same thing, nothin's saggin here! ;-)
Wish I could say that bout my waist line....jimh425 wrote:

Im waiting but these steel beasts just won't give in.- I had the same leaking problem for a couple of years. Turned out to be the connector that screws into the top of the airbag. It's a "push to connect" fitting. I bought new ones (metal pipe ends) from McMaster Carr (about $3 per fitting) , installed them, and haven't gad a leak since. It was obvious that the ones that were supplied by the air bag manufacturer weren't nearly as the replacements. It's knd of a pain to fix since you have to remove the airbags to access them, but it worked for me.

With a heavy full wall slide out TC I have no need to level side to side with the support that these two products already provide. The big benefit....all steel and no leaks. Thats my 2 cents.
x2 or .03 cents :)
I finally (basically) did the same, stables and added 2 leafs . Im glad I did it . I leave the camper on the truck , Solid steel rocks !- Use soapy water at each valve stem, hose connection and fitting. If you cannot find a leak, you can verify a leaky bag by removing it with the hose still connected and submerging it in water. Many manufacturers have warranties on the bags and you will be able to get replacements for the price of shipping.
