Question:
I have 2017 Thor challenger 37kt, do you recommend front and rear sumo springs and a roadmaster anti rear stabilizer or just the sumo sumo springs. I am also looking at the roadmaster steering stabilizer.

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Thor Challenger 37KT built on a 24k GVWR Ford F-53 chassis the biggest ride improvement you can make is with a rear sway bar. This is the first recommendation we make for people with the F-53 chassis as it provides the biggest improvement. For that you'd want the # RM-1139-149 which I attached an install video for.
Next biggest improvement you'll make is a front sway bar which for that you'd want the part # RM-1139-148 which I attached an install video for that as well.
Then next you'd want to go with a steering stabilizer which for that you'd want the part # RM-RBK25-RSSA.
In this order I would recommend either all three together or starting with the rear bar and working to the steering stabilizer and you'll end up with a dramatically improved ride quality that's much less stressful and exhausting to drive.
For SumoSprings you'd want the part # SSR-187-54-1 for the rear and part # SSF-173-40-2 for the front. This will tighten up the sway reduction even more and many swear by these so it's a great option too!
