The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88295 is the best choice in air bags to help stabilize your load. These air bags are going to reduce the strain on your rear suspension. They're going to help increase safety and compensate for uneven loads. They allow you to level your vehicle front to back and help maintain safe headlight aim, and they adjust independently for side to side leveling of off center loads, and it's really going to help improve steering and braking performance especially when having your vehicle on the beach.

There is drilling required for installation and it's designed for vehicles with rear leaf springs.

This product is for a 2018 Ram 3500 pickup. If you have Cab and Chassis use part number # F2478

The recommended choice in valve extenders is the Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve extenders # WM8029180. This product is made specifically to provide easy access to your valve stems on your rear tires with aluminum wheels.

The best valve extenders for the front are # WM802990 and dually rear # WM8001-135.

The # WM8001-135 attaches to the valve stems on the inner and the outer tires, and then brackets will mount on the steel or aluminum rear wheels with the wheel liners. this product is designed to take the hassle out of inflating and checking the air pressure of dual or dually tires. It'll relocate the inner tire valve stem to the outer wheel, and extends the valve stem on the outer tire so there's NO crawling on the ground or reaching for your valve stem on the inner tire.

Answer 1

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Hey Chris, From what I can find your 2018 Winnebago Vista 29VE has 19.5" wheels so the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit #WM8001-135 would work. Based on the photo the 135 degree bend is likely going to be the best fit but you might have to…

I recommend checking out the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit #WM8001-135 which is designed for 16" to 19-1/2" Dually wheels. These kits are universal fits so you might need to move some stuff around to get them to fit correctly.

Items like the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit #WM8001-135 are not something that we can determine just from your motorhome information. The correct kit is going to be determined by the wheels/tires you have on your motorhome. For instance the…

With having the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit #WM8001-135 I recommend using a TPMS system like the TST with either 4 #TST34FR or 6 #TST-507-INT-6-C internal tire sensors. The internal sensors will provide a more accurate reading for the air…
