Finally had a chance to tow....

I finally had a chance to tow with my new E350 Club Wagon. It definitly does not have the same spring rate that my 1997 E250 HD had. The van drop's a little more than the old one with the same load. Does anyone have any experience with air bags on vans. I'm looking at Air Lift and Firestone. It looks like Air Lift Part Number 57125 goes under the frame, as does the Firestone W21-760-2061. However the Firestone Model W21-760-2181 uses a tapered air bag that goes alongside the frame and mounts to the spring not the axle. What do you guy think.....Any users out there...

Thanks

Re: Finally had a chance to tow....

Charlie,I just installed the Airlift 1000 front air bags on my van and love them. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I was thinking about air bags for the rear but will have 2" lift blocks installed this Wednesday as the original springs are not sagging.
The air bags do help with body roll,etc. and I'am happy to report there are no leaks in my system as in the older designs.

www.campingworld.com has the air bags on sale.

Take it easy,
Tom
