gjewers Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Finally I have something to add; I changed my leaf spring eye bushings on a 1988, Winnebago Itasca and used Downey Off Road in CA. as was suggested to me in an earlier thread. Most kits come with a set of larger bushings for the front springs which did not fit mine or others in this forum. Downey will sell the individual smaller ones that worked perfectly. The part # is 92030.. It takes 12 pieces to do both springs. The cost was (in Sept '08) $2.09 ea. for a total of $25.08 plus shipping and applicable taxes. They gave me some lube too. Very helpful people. Their phone # is 562-949-9494. They will match stuff up for you if you can measure the actual piece which is what I did. Good Luck!

turtle Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I've been doing business with Downey for 20 years (since I bought my 88 4x4 pickup). When I went to San Diego to purchase my 91 Sunrader I stopped in at Downey and got rear leaf springs, V6 intake and K&N, and had JET reprogram the ECU (bought the kit through Downey). I wish I had the time to replace the bushings when I was out there in L.A. but replacing the bushings, rear shackle, and using their shackle bolts with the grease fitting is tops on my "to do" list. The diesel has Downey poly bushings front and rear as well as their 24mm front torsion bars and low profile subbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav's 86' Sunrader Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 On the downey leaf springs the ones for the regular truck will work for the Campers, it seems like the camper springs should be bigger? Would it be possible to get some with a greater arch and raise the rear a few inches along with an accompanying front lift. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don't know about ground clearance on the frame, but my airbags will raise the rear bumper 5-6 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
