Alante 32N leaning

I have an Alante 32N that had a significant lean toward the curb. It would drag the mudflap on the road when tuning to the left. When I talked to the dealer they said “chassis problem take it to Ford” - when I went to Ford the said “all our suspension parts are fine, too much load from all those cabinets on the passenger side”. The recommendation from Ford and another mechanic was to either put in air bags or another leaf in the spring. When I told Jayco CS about this their eventual answer was “There is no industry standard, law, or specs, as how far a vehicle can lean or be off the ground. If the mudflaps are too close to the ground we will cover to have them raised, we do not see a defect with your coach.”. Has anyone noticed this problem with this model or another? I’ve bitten the bullet and added the spring and it has definitely fixed the problem. Maybe this is why the only have a 2017 32N model and then discontinued it!

Thanks, Kevin

Have you done the CHF to front and rear? We did this to our 32 V and what a difference it made on sway. Might help

No, other than the lean - even unloaded - the drivability was pretty good. Since we had the extra leaf added it handles pretty much as I expected and plenty good enough. Our back end is also not in danger of bottoming out at every bump.
