MECHANICAL UPGRADES FOR IMPROVED SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE Our engineering team is always looking for new product solutions to keep our GMC coaches functioning as well or better than new. We have created several new parts that improve the safety, handling or performance of the GMC coach. AIR SUSPENSION UPGRADE Air Suspension replacement Air Springs (GMC owners call them Air Bags) The original GM factory air suspension air springs (air bags) are no longer being manufactured so our engineers have designed a replacement system using currently available off the shelf air bags from Firestone. • This design uses two bags to replace one of the original bags and provide the same suspension travel. Our system duplicates the original suspension travel with bags that are the same diameter as the original bags. • The new system does not interfere with the overall leveling system, the brakes, or the other suspension components. • This design will operate at the same air pressure as the original system and provide the correct ride height. • Individual bags can easily be replaced as needed. • Complete installation can be performed in our shop. • The complete new installation kit for both sides includes all mounting hardware, four new Firestone air bags, remote fill valves, air distribution blocks, and cut-off valves.
