HI All,I own an AU2 Fairmont towing a Jayco Hawk with standard coil springs in the rear.Has anyone installed aftermarket coil springs with 30% more strength to keep the rear from dropping too low with all hooked up including Children and luggage.Does it improve the ride and height and lastly is it worth doing.Love to hear any comments.
Cheers
Warwick

Warwick,
Raising the fulcrum, your rear springs, will not do what is required most and that is transferring the weight from your rear back to your front tyres. The airbags or springs may give you what looks like a level ride but does little else. A proper Weight Distribution Hitch is the only solution, even if used in conjunction with airbags or springs.
What most people seem to forget or not understand is that raising the pivot point does not change where the weight sits, only the height it sits at.
