Question:
I have a 2015 A.C.E that we drove up the coast of California. The rough roads beat the RV senseless. I plan to upgrade the suspension to make for a more comfortable ride. My question is, should I go with SumoSprings or Air Bags? I plan to add the steering stabilizer and possibly the front sway bar upgrade as well. I just cant make up my mind between the adjustable bags that have the on board compressor and controller. Or the Install and forget SumoSprings. Thanks for your input.

Adding the steering stabilizer and the front sway bar is definitely the first couple of steps that you want to take to help stabilize your motorhome. If you haven't already picked one out I recommend going with the Roadmaster # RM-1139-148 which is confirmed to fit a 2015 Ford F-53.
Although air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57240 would help to support the suspension and ultimately your ride, I recommend going with the SumoSprings as they require no maintenance. Not only will you need to check them when you are using them, but you will also need to check on them and make sure they still have a small amount of air during the off season.
The SumoSprings are pretty much like you said. You install them and then forget about them. We have also received a lot of great feedback from customers who love having the SumoSprings on their motorhome.
When adding suspension enhancement on a Class A motorhome like your A.C.E. you will want to add it to both front and rear suspension. For front SumoSprings I recommend part # SSF-173-40-2 and for rear part # SSR-183-54-1.
I have attached some videos that you can check out as well.
