Hi Richard,

That's very interesting, thanks. Do you know what Ridewell suspension is used on your coach? My 2002 Wanderlodge LXi uses the RAS-227 steer axle and RADT-246 drive/tag combo suspension systems. I'm about to get on the phone with Ridewell to see if they offer a kit that I can fit on my coach. Another approach might be to call Newell parts to see what's available. Most likely new air springs will be required too. I'm thinking that my existing air springs may not have a suitably sized air inlet to handle a 1/2" NPT input. 1/2" NPT is about 3/4" ID and 1" OD. This is the size tubing the p-buses use and I suspect Newell uses the same. Of course, the bump stop within the air spring is a question too. Here's my air spring data. Do you know what you use?

Steer axle:
Ridewell: 1003589457C
Firestone: W01-358-9457
Goodyear: 1R11-151

Drive axle:
Ridewell: 1003589459C
Firestone: W01-358-9459
Goodyear: 1R11-152

Tag axle:
Ridewell: 1003589595C
Firestone: W01-358-9595

Thanks,
David
