I wanted to post a review on the Sully air bag solution. One side of my GMC had been slowly losing air for some time. I bought one adapter from Todd Sullivan and one air bag from Michigan Truck Spring. The install was easy and it looks very logical. I highly recommend this conversion.

Quote:May I respectfully suggest that it would be a good idea to also replace the other side as soon as your budget allows it to regain/retain balance?
That does make a lot of sense. I don't know if my cheapness will allow it however.......

Get one to install on the other side, install it and keep the removed one for your emergency spare. Things seem to break when it is hard to find replacements.

Leif,
Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum...
While you have a temporary solution, I would caution you about the asymmetry you have created. These coaches handle very well in OE trim. You may end up with the equivalent of driving a table with one short leg.
While you are here, Please think about building a decent sigfile. (Like you will see at the bottom of the posts here)
It should have at least:
Your real name - this is because we will meet and if we don't know who you are, we won't know where to start. You can change you screen name without disrupting anything else. Just go to Control Panel/Account Settings Change the Alias and hit Update. It is that easy and nothing will be lost.
A short about the coach. What year model and major mods. It all may make a difference. Answers you get will be better.
A geographic reference. This also matters and for two reasons. You are now a part of a wonderful helping community. If you need direct advice or hands on assist someone will know if he is in striking range. Another is the people in great cold north have some special problems that those on the Gulf Coast will not expect.

I have logged a few miles with one Sullybilt and one oem and did not notice any adverse handling characteristics with the combination. I was able to feel more body roll towards the oem side when turning but that is purely subjective and prone to self fulfilling prophecy etc.
