Question:
The ride quality of my brand new Forest River FR3 30DS is pretty crappy. The handling is terrible, doesnt want to stay on the road when a big truck passes us. I read on the Forest River forum that SUMOs are the best. Also read about adding sway bars What do you suggest? What can I do to improve the ride?

Expert Reply:
What you have read on the Forest River forums is accurate for sure. The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-170-40-2 for the front and the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-187-40-1 are definitely what you need to improve the handling of your motor home.
I also recommend to upgrade the anti-sway bars to a beefier after market option with Roadmaster Rear Anti-sway bar part # RM-1139-146 for the rear and part # RM-1139-148 for the front. They are designed to keep the motor home from swaying when you are on the highway by helping to re-distribute the weight.
To tighten up the connection between the steering mechanism and the chassis to take some of the work out of steering I do highly recommend a steering stabilizer, the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM33RR.
