Expert Reply:

The jounce springs I recommend for your two wheel drive 2019 Ford F-53 chassis are from SumoSprings, the SumoSprings Rebel for the front axle and SumoSprings Maxim for the rear axle.

The reason why the SumoSprings are the best is because they not only work to reduce sway, but also keep your vehicle level and give you a smoother ride. The SumoSprings can do this because they are made of a microcellular urethane which compresses. Each of the springs works independently which is what is going to allow your motorhome to not only stay level but greatly reduce the amount of body roll you experience when making a turn.

The correct SumoSprings part is going to depend on the GVWR of your motorhome.

Front Axle:

- GVWR between 16,000 lbs and 22,000 lbs: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Spring # SSF-170-40-2

- GVWR between 24,000 lbs and 26,000 lbs: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Spring # SSF-173-40-2

Rear Axle:

- GVWR between 16,000 and 18,000 lbs (does not fit Fleetwood, Forest River, Newmar, or Thor Motorhome models): # SSR-184-40-1

- GVWR between 16,000 and 18,000 lbs (does not fit Coachmen, Holiday Rambler, Jayco, Tiffin, or Winnebago Motorhome models): # SSR-187-40-1

- GVWR between 20,000 and 22,000 lbs (does not fit Fleetwood, Forest River, Newmar, or Thor Motorhome models): # SSR-180-54-1

- GVWR between 20,000 and 26,000 lbs (does not fit Coachmen, Holiday Rambler, Jayco, Tiffin, or Winnebago Motorhome models): # SSR-187-54-1

- GVWR between 24,000 and 26,000 lbs (does not fit Fleetwood, Forest River, Newmar, or Thor Motorhome models): # SSR-183-54-1

I have also added photos showing how these springs look when installed, as well as links to installation videos and review for you to take a look at.
