Will SumoSprings Reduce Body Roll from Wind Gusts on a 2017 Fleetwood Bounder F-53 Chassis
Updated 05/08/2018 | Published 05/06/2018 >
Question:
My motor home has the F53 chassis and I have already installed the extra sway bar for the rear and the replacement sway bar for the front. I have also put on the road master steering stabilizer. I have gotten all these from your company and it is much better but I am wondering if the sumo springs would take most of the side wind gusts scares away.

Expert Reply:
Yes indeed. Adding some suspension enhancement helper springs such as # SSR-187-54-1 to your 2017 Fleetwood Bounder on the Ford F-53 chassis will make it even more stable. They will help with body roll which is what happens when wind gusts blow against the side of the RV. The springs may not eliminate it completely but it will be an improvement for sure. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
