Ive had other motorhomes with sway problems bags fixed it. Need help and bags. trying to get shocks to this ford is a problem. on it are Bilstien 3C34 18045 AA front 3C34 18080 BA rear old numbers, Bilstien website cross over has no such number from old to new. like Monroe. what the H! Motorhomes are difficult to exact on parts. vin. 1F6NF53S140A01486 thanks Merrill bought from you good stuff have more pics,

Expert Reply:

If you are trying to improve the ride quality of your 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 36E the best option we can offer would be a rear sway bar part number # RM-1139-148. This will make the biggest improvement.

We currently do not have an air bag setup that I can recommend that would work well for you.
