George,

I put up the drawings for the rear air ride this morning.  With Mannys hepp, we did do a front air ride set up but really, it did not make any sense other than slamming the coach when parked.  It messed with alignment and only moved say 3 " or so--- big woop!

Check out the rear set up on the pose,

Jim Bounds

The air ride system is only used on the rear suspension.  Front end uses torsion bars.

Jim Bounds was investigating an air suspension system for the front end, but I think he's put that project on a back burner.  With all the modifications that have been made over the years, perhaps the front will have an air ride as well, but I wouldn't hold my breath as the current system works quite well.
