Gary_M Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Does for the old 21 footers. Too if you have a tow hitch it's advisable to have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdboltdude Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a 21ft no tow hitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_M Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a front and rear tow hitch. I frequently bottom out going out of my driveway and store lots like gas stations. No sag but I'm dead even. I have air bags but they don't help much in terms of lift. There are helper springs you can buy from Amazon (cheap). I'm thinking of cutting the old air bags in half and slipping the springs over them. They say it's 1/2-1" higher lift. Who knows I just might invest in a couple of extra leafs myself.

linda s Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have helper springs for my Nissan Sunrader that go in front of and behind the air bags. Haven't installed them yet though. Got them at Summit racing. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 only leaf springs and shocks for me.. no helper or air bags gas stations get me more then driveway.... You might try some Timbrens. I found one place that has them pretty cheap. otherwise they cost as much as air bags but they are way easier to install. And extra support but without the bounce of the air bags which I don't really like. Well price has gone up a little since the last time I looked. Still much cheaper than air bags http://www.albanyspring.com/sitedirector/site/product.cfm?id=6576B32F-33E8-4435-B494D7999970B43B This is the right model Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
