Air Springs/Bags

[Robert Britton]

Best price on air bags that I found was at truckspring.com

Front bags $123 each
Rear bags $113 each

robertsmotorcompany.com in Grants Pass Or. will let me bring my owne
parts and install them. $80 per hour...8 to 10 hour job to do all
eight air bags. This shop mostly works on big rigs but said they
would do air bags on my coach.

honest) I found a truck place near me that did the job for a
reasonable price. I had a hole in one the others had some dry rot on
the outside. But I am with you Peace of mind is important!
