Coachmen Leprechaun Class C RV backing into a sloped residential driveway under overcast skies. — This 6" off grid lift kit makes this Coachman Leprechaun a dream to drive on or off the highway.

Sometimes the “small” issue ends up changing everything. This 2018 Coachmen Leprechaun showed up at Savage with one problem: the plumbing hung so low it scraped just getting into the driveway. The fix? Simple, go up. A 6-inch lift not only solved the clearance headache but unlocked new freedom for road trips, off-grid weekends, and dirt-road detours.

WeldTec 6-Inch Off Grid Lift Kit + Stabilization

We went all-in with a WeldTec Designs Off Grid 6-inch lift kit and a steering stabilizer to keep this Class C planted. Getting there meant some serious underbody rework:

Black water tank relocated + replaced
Propane tank relocated + replaced
Factory airbags pulled (progressive leaf springs don’t need the Band-Aid)

The payoff: stronger rear suspension, tighter road manners, and clearance that makes steep driveways and rough trailheads an afterthought.

Tires: Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/T

A lift isn’t complete without the right shoes. We wrapped this rig in Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/Ts (235/85/16). Smooth enough for long highway drives, grippy enough for when the pavement disappears.

Full Exterior Detail + 10 Year Ceramic Coating

Next up: giving the exterior a reset and protecting it for the long haul. Our detail team handled:

Roof scrub + UV protection
Full decon wash
Two-stage paint correction
Spot wet sanding for deep scratches
Wheels, tires, trim, glass, and jambs fully treated

Then we locked it down with Adams Pro Grade Ceramic Coating — rated for 10+ years. That means fewer wash days, a longer-lasting shine, and real defense against sun, dirt, and weather. To keep it dialed in, the owner left with a Savage ceramic maintenance kit.

From Driveway to Dirt Roads

What rolled in with a clearance issue drove out as a fully upgraded rig. With the WeldTec 6-inch Off-Road lift, progressive leaf springs, new Cooper A/Ts, and a ceramic-coated exterior, this Leprechaun isn’t worried about scraping anymore — it’s built for driveways, highways, and dirt-road adventures alike.
