I purchased my GMC motorhome in California and drove it to Louisiana. Both air bags were dry rotted and one blew out as the motorhome sat in my drive way in Louisiana. My wife and I were really thankful that we got home safely.

I had time to research all options and settled on the SullyBuilt brackets with the firestone airbags. The brackets were ordered from Seattle Collision Center and the airbags from the Airspring Store on ebay.

The brackets are built very sturdy and easy to install. The airbags are also more sturdy than the original. Todd at the Collision Center provides you with all the information for the airbags as well.

By late afternoon Friday I had everything needed and had already removed my old ones. So I began the installation. It was not long I had everything ready for a test drive. The new system required a lot less air to set the motorhome in the travel level position. That means that the ride is softer with less wear on the bags. The cost was much less than the original if they were available or any other offering for that matter.

What is beautiful about it is that if you ever figure a way to ruin one of your bags, the cost will only the price of the airbag, which this one is very reasonable. For a few bucks you will be back on the road again. They are reasonable enough to have a spare one.

I like the system and thought that I should share the information.

Rollis,

I suspect you wanted to post this on the main forum NOT the "swap meet." The swap meet is only seen by the users of the web based forum and most readers access the forum with email.

As this is one of your first posts, I reposted it for you.
