Should Front or Rear Air Bags Be Added to a 2015/2016 Thor Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2015/16 thor Motorhome. I’m looking at adding air bags. I’m going to do front axles. Should I do rear axles too. I see y’all don’t have a video for rear axles for a Motorhome. Any help with this thanks

Hey James, thanks for reaching out!
The Front # AL88240 and Rear # AL57344 air spring kits for a 2015 Ford F-53 chassis will install in a similar fashion but we don't have any videos for the rear air bag kit like you mentioned. If I was in your case I would definitely install the rear bags as well. We actually recommend adding suspension enhancements to the rear axles before adding stuff to the front axles as you'll see a bigger improvement in performance. You can add them to both, but if you're only adding one I recommend the rear set.
If this is something that you're unfamiliar with and you'd like a shop to install for you, we actually have a neat tool that shows shops we deal with in your area who are comfortable with air bag installs. Attached is a link to this tool - all you need to do is type in your zip code and it will show you the shops!
