Hi lyndon they don't come out of the factory dipping on one side, if its a pronounced dip then their is something wrong, possibly a weak spring, they should fix the problem rather than you paying for an unnecessary fix.

Hi LyndonRV, my Ambulance has rear air suspension :thumb: but will obviously be on a smaller scale :ROFLMAO:but more or less they all work the same ::bigsmile:
Firstly the compressor blows air into holding tank from there it goes to a lever close to or fixed on the rear axle,then into the air bags.On mine the said lever has an adjuster on it that you simply screw up or down to alter air bag height.On yours it may have 2 ???
I would think this may need touching up a little on one side of yours or it could be only one adjuster which evens the ride out automatically - same pressure in each bag meaning it is down to the weight in the tanks making it lop sided :cry: let some water out :Doh::ROFLMAO: or do not look too close :ROFLMAO:::bigsmile::Smile::thumb:

Hi Lyndon

I fitted AirLift airbags to the rear of the Damon, already had airbags on the front suspension.

Shipping & fitting cost just under £400 including VAT.

Best money I've spent on the RV since owning it, transformed the ride and the handling. No more wandering around , no more heart stopping moments when big trucks thunder past in fact we thunder past them now as I find its so stable I'm driving at least 10 mph faster. I had outside valves fitted so no crawling underneath to check pressures. I run at 100psi when fully loaded including the motorbike and about 85psi without the bike. AirLift bag pressure's are 50psi min and 120psi max for commercial application.

Hope this helps :thumb:
