Jeremy is the Freaking Man!!!! 6 inch lift on my class C and it was worth every penny!!! It rides 200% better now. The manufacturers need to hire this guy!
great video and also look like this guys is in LA, just a funny remark as i was watching the end,” nicely off the ground making it easy for others to remove the Catalytic converter😂. but seriously nice work!
Jeremy, I'm about to purchase a new Axix/Vegas 24.1. I will be calling to get scheduled as soon as I have the coach in hand. Thanks for the road test before and after the lift. You have sold me. Grandpa Jack
Thank you!! Excellent explanation....will be calling to get my used Thor Vegas 24.1 done.....I think you said 3 different things were done....4" lift kit, radius arm, modified beam, fox(?) shocks, steering stabilizer, 🤔 wow! I'll call to get more info
My vote is for the Vegas/Axis. We have the 2022 - 24.1 Axis and are in need of this conversion. I wish WeldTec was in WA state. The Axis is wonderful and has a great layout. It is easier to drive than our previous 2019 Class C Chateau and is MUCH quieter inside! The Axis has more room than the Class C and is about the same size. It is, however, very bouncy with the stock shocks, etc (especially on the California highways). And, we do seem to scrape driveways and other low spots with the rear of the RV as it is currently. A lift would be fantastic. A conversion like this will make it almost perfect! Thanks for the video, I will be saving it for reference!
Vegas 24.1! I just bought one, and this looks idea! Thanks for the video. Suggest having a pic/link on your site with the info for MY future installation !
love my Vegas BUT the chassis is a bit light for the rig meaning low cargo capacity. What did the upgrade cost and how much weight di the upgrades add?
Ha! We saw a similar Class A in Ohio last Sep. When the owner told us it was on a Class C chassis….we told him about WeldTec. 😀 We’ve been waiting for one of these to show up in your video feed. 😉
I’m saving this video so when I go to upgrade mine I’ll know exactly what to do to it. Loved how you drove it to show it’s performance afterwards. Thanks y’all!
This is great info! Wanted to ask... my 2015 Thor definitely needs a lift, but a lot of what I have read on tightening the roll (and high-speed highway or blow-by drift), can apparently be fixed fairly easily by the end user by replacing the factory sway bars with aftermarkets (Like Hellwig). However, it doesn't appear as if you replaced them on this RV... was that due to budget, labor, or are the sway bars a moot point if you have better springs... - OR - or would it be best to replace the springs and sway bars? Could you give your opinion on estimated improvement percentage on general driving and ride comfort for 1) the upgrades you did on this one 2) sway bars only 3) both 1 and 2 4) anything else that may improve drive/ride and percentage Thanks!!
My vote goes to the Thor Vegas / Axis. I’m actually shopping for a unit like the one in this video. And I found this information very helpful. I’ll definitely want to do something like this when I do make that purchase. Thanks.
Ooo we were wondering if you could lift one of these. It’s been suggested that you wouldn’t want to do any crazy off-roading with one because of the torsion on that windshield but this would be perfect for fire roads and general clearance issues. Plus these start out only 11 ft high so you can still get under 12ft bridges and garage doors!
I'm picking up a Vegas this weekend. This looks like a great start! What about having the wheels further out to give it a wider stance to match the lift? Not much room in the front I'm thinking because of the small wheel well and rubbing. Have you guys tried that? Also, I've lifted a few trucks and it KILLS the fuel mileage. Have you.guys gotten feedback on the Axis's or Vegas' you've lifted?! Thanks!
Hello. I have this model and I'm interested in lifting it. It looks like the rear lifted more than the front. Is this a camera illusion? It would be desirable for the RV to be level after installing the lift kit.
Yeah, the stock suspension definitely is lacking. It’s actually lopsided. You can measure both sides near the rear wheel wells and it will be different measurements. Also, after the suspension upgrade our slide extended and retracted without any issues where as before, I had to always bypass the computer.
We do have a 2" Lift Kit for the Class C RV's its called the "Getaway" weldtecdesigns.com/product/wtd-ford-e-series-class-c-rv-2-suspension-lift-kit-getaway/
these videos are very entertaining and informative. Its clear what the pros are to improving the stock suspension on an RV but are there any cons to be aware of? Is is all pros and no cons? Looking for a full picture of what to be aware of before buying, thanks!
It honestly depends on what suspension package you choose to go with. Give us a call @ (619)596-9831 to talk to one of our sales representatives to discuss your suspension options.
You went through all the scale things with the original shocks but you didn't change the weight distribution from front to rear with new shocks and springs. Didn't show that weight after the fact front and back. So why show in the beginning.also did you say the price?
Nice Video. But 1st thing to ck is the HIGHT of your RV, This one is only 11 ft stock. So those 4-6 inches shouldn't cause any problems. But some Class A's are close to 13 ft, so exercise caution. The Law says vehicles should be no higher than 14 ft.
I looked into Weldtec doing a 4" lift on my class-C. With the installation it would have been well over $8,000.00 bucks. Unfortunately that is too cost restrictive for most, and not worth the investment in a used 2018 Class-C. Disappointing!!
It's not for everyone, but we would definitely argue that an RV is a large investment and the benefit of our suspension kit far outweighs the price. Our 4" kit starts at $3,500: weldtecdesigns.com/product/wtd-ford-e-series-class-c-rv-4-suspension-lift-kit/ If you want it installed with all the bells and whistles i.e. wheels, tires, bumpers, etc. obviously the price tag is going to grow accordingly
Nope, no need to do 88 mph at ANY time in a class A or with a 5th wheel or TT. Hmm, BTW what public road in the U.S. Allows you to do 88 mph anyway? LOL we wouldn't want to brake the law now, would we? LOL
LETS VOTE! THOR VEGAS OR NORMAL CLASS C RV? COMMENT BELOW AND WE GIVE AWAY SWAG TO A RANDOM COMMENT!
Vegas baby!
I have one it’s way better than my 3 class c’s
Jeremy is the Freaking Man!!!! 6 inch lift on my class C and it was worth every penny!!! It rides 200% better now. The manufacturers need to hire this guy!
You are so kind! i am glad that you LOVE your class C lift kit.

Jack , we are glad the video helped you
Where are you located?
Thank you!! Excellent explanation....will be calling to get my used Thor Vegas 24.1 done.....I think you said 3 different things were done....4" lift kit, radius arm, modified beam, fox(?) shocks, steering stabilizer, 🤔 wow! I'll call to get more info

AWESOME... must for these coaches
It so is! if you drive it you wont go back....
love my Vegas BUT the chassis is a bit light for the rig meaning low cargo capacity. What did the upgrade cost and how much weight di the upgrades add?
Best video yet and my favorite RV.
Definitely a thumbs up 👍
Thank you for the kind words, it was really cool..
Very nice. Soooo. How much was the job + materials? How much did the customer pay "out the door?"

Great video Jeremy!!

Could you give your opinion on estimated improvement percentage on general driving and ride comfort for
1) the upgrades you did on this one
2) sway bars only
3) both 1 and 2
4) anything else that may improve drive/ride and percentage
Thanks!!
My vote goes to the Thor Vegas / Axis.

Glad you liked this! it was pretty awesome when it was finished.

This suspension should really make a difference in reducing the vibrations you would normally get
This is one of the RVs I've been thinking (dreaming) about. Glad to see you can lift it!
Great job
Crazy how much it pulls from the factory!
I agree but how many people actually do this when buying a new RV?
So since it's raised, do you need to install an electric or manual step?
What was the cost of the suspension upgrade
What was the cost to lift that RV and align it
Why 4 and not 6 inch lift do tell?👍 by the way showing your build is Great as well keep on rocking and keep showing test drives awesome work 👉💯👍
This is the what the customer wanted! it turned out really nice!
I'm picking up a Vegas this weekend. This looks like a great start! What about having the wheels further out to give it a wider stance to match the lift?

YES, THEY LOVE THE LIFT KIT
Great video
Excellent info
Glad it was helpful!
Love it!
Hello. I have this model and I'm interested in lifting it. It looks like the rear lifted more than the front. Is this a camera illusion? It would be desirable for the RV to be level after installing the lift kit.
I think it was the camera? let us know how we can help.
What effect does the lift have on leveling the Thor Axis/Vegas motorcoach?
Really improves how it drives making it more stable.
But how does it work with the automatic stabalizer when parked on site?
Thank for the tips
do you also do 4x4 conversion ? and could you do it on this model?
I want to get the Vegas/ Axis 24.1 so bad! And I definitely want to lift it. My question how tall is the motorhome now?
Yeah, the stock suspension definitely is lacking. It’s actually lopsided. You can measure both sides near the rear wheel wells and it will be different measurements. Also, after the suspension upgrade our slide extended and retracted without any issues where as before, I had to always bypass the computer.
Is there any way to half that lift. Like 2 inches up front and 3 in the back?
We do have a 2" Lift Kit for the Class C RV's its called the "Getaway"
weldtecdesigns.com/product/wtd-ford-e-series-class-c-rv-2-suspension-lift-kit-getaway/
Yes I agree, the rear is to high, looks weird. I like the wheel wells filled. What's the bigress tires that would fit?
Could you make the Thor Vegas FWD?
Awesome kit!
Are you ready to lift your new class C rv?
these videos are very entertaining and informative. Its clear what the pros are to improving the stock suspension on an RV but are there any cons to be aware of? Is is all pros and no cons? Looking for a full picture of what to be aware of before buying, thanks!
You may need to add a step but the pros definitely weigh out the cons when it comes to lifting an RV!
You also have to be aware of the added weight.
What's would the cost be for this upgrade?
It honestly depends on what suspension package you choose to go with.
Give us a call @ (619)596-9831 to talk to one of our sales representatives to discuss your suspension options.
How much does this kit cost in stalled ?
Anyway to improve it without the lift?
not that we know of yet.....
You went through all the scale things with the original shocks but you didn't change the weight distribution from front to rear with new shocks and springs. Didn't show that weight after the fact front and back. So why show in the beginning.also did you say the price?
"did you say the price?"
Link in the description says it's about $9k installed
When did you hire the Car Wizard?
THAT WOULD BE RAD TO HAVE HIM ON OUR CHANNEL!
Nice Video. But 1st thing to ck is the HIGHT of your RV, This one is only 11 ft stock. So those 4-6 inches shouldn't cause any problems. But some Class A's are close to 13 ft, so exercise caution. The Law says vehicles should be no higher than 14 ft.
What was the price tag for that lift?
Over 7k I'm sure.
Having a higher driving position than a Class C, how did the lift feel cornering ?
IT WAS A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER THE STOCK RIDE!
Where are you guys located?
San diego, CA. let us know if we can help you
How much Jeremy?
Too bad Thor doesn’t do this at the factory to make their vehicle safer.
What he tries to say is the new suspension kit transform this motorhome into a Lexus.....
99% sure this will void the warranty.
And now your tires look like some highschool kid making bad decisions
I looked into Weldtec doing a 4" lift on my class-C. With the installation it would have been well over $8,000.00 bucks.

If you want it installed with all the bells and whistles i.e. wheels, tires, bumpers, etc. obviously the price tag is going to grow accordingly
I had the 6" kit installed on my 2015 Jayco Greyhawk last year and I wish I would have known about WeldTec sooner.
@@WeldtecDesigns Does that include installation?
I doubt that it does
Nope, no need to do 88 mph at ANY time in a class A or with a 5th wheel or TT. Hmm, BTW what public road in the U.S. Allows you to do 88 mph anyway? LOL we wouldn't want to brake the law now, would we? LOL
That sound you heard was a joke going over your head.
th-cam.com/video/k0kswK2aI08/w-d-xo.html
that looks ridiculous
We thrive on ridiculous!
This video is a joke 🤣
