Departing Wednesday on a trip from FL to CO and I need some help/advice.
Had the Rialta on a drive-on lift for some other work and noticed the rear air springs were flat (I knew they had a slow leak) and the two-leaf metal springs were sagging. We have owned the vehicle since Aug 13 and travel light but I don't know what the previous two owners did with it.
A local truck shop said they could order new air springs and install a third leaf in the springs. He ordered the air springs for a Eurovan (coil springs instead of leaf) so they were wrong. I can live with having to pump up the air springs frequently but now he's having trouble sourcing a third leaf.
The parts list for my 99HD only shows a Winnebago part number but like so many other things they probably sourced the rear suspension from some major auto/truck or trailer manufacturer. Has anyone added a leaf or used a leaf-spring helper kit from one of the major auto parts stores?
Any quick response would be greatly appreciated as I'm running out of time.
