Have any of you put air lift springs on the rear to stop excess roll. I put new airbags in front, but still have lot of roll.my unit is a 1980 29 ft.the shocks are not leaking any, my next job will be replacing them.any help to get better control will be appreciated.Thanks James

------------------

Excess roll is best addressed with Bilstein shocks and a stiffer anti-roll bar in front, either IPD or Hellwig. Rear air bags will correct the P30 sag and allow you to adjust your ride height to your load. A side benefit of air bags is some reduction of roll by virtue of the stiffness you have added. Your P30 will be at its best if ride height is correct at front and rear and alignment is correct in front. P30s get knocked a lot for their handling, but are pretty decent if set up correctly. There is a big difference. I know a few Barthers who moved up to pushers to get away from P30 handling issues. I have a feeling that they might have kept their P30 if it had been set up correctly. Of course, the Barth pushers are better in other areas, too, but you do pay. I think a P30 Barth is worth spending some money on. Search this site for "P30" and "handling" and "alignment" and "ride height". I can send you ride height charts for mid 80's P30s that should apply to yours.

Bill H. Thanks for your advise, if you will send me your e-mail address, I will send you mine. bugman_65606@yahoo.com.Where would the best place be to purchase the Bilstein shocks?

I bought mine through the site Dave has in the links here.

I bought a set of Bilsteins from Pro Am Auto Parts in March for $74.75 each. Total cost: for set of four; $299.00, no tax and free shipping. I ordered them on line at 6p.m. on Tuesday and had them in my hands Friday afternoon. http://www.proamauto.com/
