Question:
Hi, I have a 2019 winnebago vista 31be on a 2018 Ford f53 18000lb chassis. The ride over potholes is very harsh and shakey and noisy. I worry for fittings due to the big pothole bangs. The rear is probably running close to its maximum most of the time. So I want a better ride over pot holes and to assist the rear suspension which always looks a touch low. Can I fit a set of front and rear sumo springs to give me a smoother ride over the potholes. Should I fit super springs on the rear as well as sumo springs or instead of ? Can i fit both ? Or if i had to choose between them on the rear which will help the most with running close to the vehicles max for long periods ?

For RV suspension enhancement the SumoSprings are the way to go. They do the best job giving additional support that reduces sag, offering anti-sway characteristics, and also helping smooth out ride quality. Installing a second set of suspension enhancement would do more harm than good, but I do have something else that would be very helpful. See last paragraph for that.
So for the rear you'd want the part # SSR-184-40-1 which is a confirmed fit and then for the front part # SSF-170-40-2 and you'd be set. This will give you a much nicer overall driving experience with your 2019 Winnebago Vista 31BE with an 18k GVWR.
So the F-53 chassis sees the biggest benefit from a rear sway bar upgrade which the part # RM-1139-146 is the correct fit. This will make the biggest improvement in ride quality and stability. It's normally what we recommend first as it makes biggest improvement. This with the SumoSprings is your best overall option hands down.

I have a 2020 Winnebago Adventurer 29b. Full length slide out on drivers side. I have installed heavier front/rear sway bars and steering stabilizer. Big improvement. But, I notice that the coach seems to tilt slightly to drivers side. So ... I am considering install of Sumo springs in rear. Is this the way to go or do you have a better solution? Also, if I install Sumos on rear, should I also install on front?
