Question:
The rear springs are sagging about 1inch - 2inch I was think the Timbren SES might work to level back up and help with side to side roll. I plan to install them with about 1inch load. Do you think that would work OK. The Motorhome weight about 18,000 lbs.

Expert Reply:
First, if your RV is sagging because the suspension is worn, you will need to have the suspension fixed before adding springs. Suspension enhancement systems are designed to be installed on a vehicle with suspension that is in good working order.
Once you are sure your suspension is in good working order I recommend using a system with a higher capacity. For a higher capacity system, 16K to 22K, use # SSR-181-54-1. This system will reduce sag and help reduce side to side roll.
Using a steering stabilizer, anti-sway bar, or other similar device, see link, will also help with roll and create a better ride. I have included a link to an FAQ article on this subject for you.
