Re: Air Bags, don't look!

A day late and a dollar short, only 5% now so I bought 8 for 710.00 plus free shipping. I'll probably start by leaving the fenders and the wheels on, if it becomes a pita than I'll remove them. Thanks for all the useful information, it's not what I know but who I know that knows!
Unless you have made a tool and have small hands, it will be a PITA. Electric screwdriver only takes a minute or two to remove the fenders and they go back on without leaving a mark in most cases. Like I said earlier, I was just looking for a challenge otherwise, I would have removed the fenders.

If you don't jack the coach way up, you will have to put a knee on the bags to compress them, put the black cap back on the hollow air stud and then squeeze the bag in place. With the coach all the way up to the suspension limites,  the bag just goes through the space and then you just rotate it and install it. I like to have the plates clean on the top and bottom so no dirt can get on the bag threads.
