Terry, Mine is just a 'Weekender' version so I didn't have that much of a leftward lean. There was a little along with the usual butt-sag. By running slightly different pressures (15psi on the left and 12psi on the right) I raised the butt about 1 1/2 inches and leveled it side to side. I keep the pressure low for daily driving and increase it when we load up.

I keep about 30 psi. in mine. I know it's 5 lbs, over what they recommend, but it handles better a little firmer in the rear. Later, ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ||-(())----(())-| Terry 85 GL

They work great. The right bag ruptured early this summer while I was away and my wife was using Roland for daily transportation. She also knocked the passenger side mirror off so there's no way to tell what abuse the bag took before rupturing. I called Air Lift and they replaced the bag for a $10 shipping and handling fee. No other problems have cropped up. I love being able to see things in the rear view mirror and the ruduced wallow in corners (with just 10psi in the bags). Chuck '85 Wolfsburg Westy -- Roland >>I guess success is mine! The bags don't leak at all, the rear end of the van is sitting pretty, and rides like dream. I highly recommend them.
