Ford and Workhorse both had I-beam front suspension with no airbags.

The airbags often lose air and can get punctured by the coil springs while driving down the road.

How can I increase ground clearance on my RV?

The front has thicker coil springs which did not raise the ground clearance passenger side and only by 0.5 inches driver side, but I no longer bottom out. I plumbed the bags separately, and put the fill valves (schrader valves) inside my Van and use my air compressor to adjust them from within.

Is it time to replace an air bag?

Two good HD bottle jacks for air bag replacement is almost a must. If you are not a smoker, get someone who is, air the coach up and while it is, let the smoker blow heavy smoke exhales at every fitting, watch the smoke movement. Using this method saves time over the spray bottle at every fitting.
