Question:
after i installed the rear axle trac bar and had the front tires re- balanced the coach felt better but i still think the front end feels a little loose I would appreciate your inside information on getting and installing sumo springs just for the front and see if this will make the front end feel more solid the rear end feels solid now I just don't want to be throwing money down the drain on something that may work i've tried to find out thru going to different rv threads and i'm not convinced that this will make that kind of difference thanks for the help

Your 2017 Winnebago Vista LX with 18,000 lb chassis does not have a Blue Ox Tiger Track Rear Trac Bar that will fit. The Tiger Track for your chassis only starts at the 20,000 lbs chassis.
The steering stabilizer that will fit your motorhome is the discontinued Blue Ox TruCenter Steering Stabilizer for Motor Homes TC35160 along with the custom brackets # TC5500. This is a far more adjustable system for steering stabilization than the Roadmaster Reflex # RM-RBK22-RSSA you have but also requires a more in-depth installation.
The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-184-40-1 and Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2 will help to minimize sway and body roll as well as help absorb bumps and shock. This will also help with the steering by helping to stabilize the load over the frame.
