Works very well. 100% improvement in handling.

Installed this kit on a 1990 TravelMaster Signature C Class 27ft Motorhome. The chassis is a Ford Econoline E-350 Custom Cab. Daly rear. This setup rocked and rolled poorly. The factory 8-blade springs were fine, but their limit was the weight of the bus. Took me about 3-4 hours. The brake line holder on the driver's side did not fit. The axle ventilation and the brake line have been combined into one piece at the factory. I have to make my own bracket for the brake line as I need the axle bleed to stay in place. Everything else was good. Took me about 3 1/2 hours as I did everything myself and was in no rush. I love checking everything. It was a bit tricky to get the heat shield to fit properly between the bag and the exhaust, but that was more due to my 60 year old hands not being as dexterous as they used to be. The motorhome drives like a bus, not like a U-Haul truck. It drives much better and the woman no longer gets sick in the car sitting in the back with her angry child. The airbags raise the rear about 2 1/4 inches when fully inflated at 98psi. I like to ride around 75psi since I don't tow anything. Very tight and pleasant handling. When the semi crashes into the rig I don't feel like the big bad wolf is trying to run me off the road. No more bone-shattering bumps off the road. It was worth the effort and I would highly recommend this kit to stop rear wheel roll and wobble. Former Electrician/Industrial Maintenance Mechanic and USMC M35A2 Driver.
