Recommended Suspension Enhancement Products for 2016 Jayco Alante 26X Based on Ford F-53

Question

Question:

I like the Blue OX TT2400 for the rear because it easy to install from what I can see on line. Is this the right one for my Motorhome and what do you think of it. For the front I was going with RSSA-RBK9 steering stabilizer and 1139-148 sway bar both made by road master, are they the right ones also. What do you think about my plan. Thanks

Aftermarket upgrade suspension kits will provide a clear improvement over the stock components in your 27-foot 2015 F-53-based Jayco Alante RV. For the V10-equipped F-53 the correct steering stabilizer from Roadmaster is indeed part # RM-RBK22-RSSA and the correct rear-axle anti-sway bar is part # RM-1139-148. Both of these are suited to your RV's 23,000-lb GVWR and installation videos for both products are linked for you.

I have had the opportunity to ride in a similar RV both before and after installation of these types of aftermarket upgrades and you will have no trouble noticing the improvements!

Blue Ox TT2400 is not suitable for your RV's weight.
