Tires, shocks, sway bars, air bags... What crosswind?

I'd like a kit too please. My rig is a 1996 Ford Econoline 350 with a 1997 B190. It was a late year 96 van that Airstream used with their early 1997 B190's so it Ford VIN is a 96 and its Airsteam VIN is a 97. So for this application I'd need it to work on a 1996 model vehicle. Thanks...

We are interested in a set of rear suspension 2" lift block kits, do you have any available? I sent a PM but it does not appear to be sending (it is still in the outbox and not the sent item folder),
Thanks!

That's normal - it goes to Sent once the receiver reads it.

I just installed Airlift 5000 Airbags. Sagging problem solved. I paid $220 for open box special on Amazon and put them in myself. I added 2” lifter plates with the airbags. Looks perfectly level now but drives way better.

I'm curious, is there any way to use it to help level the camper at a site?
