We can get your 2021 Forest River Georgetown 36K7 set up for a smoother and more controlled ride, and the best way to do that is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because they are better constructed with higher-strength, thicker steel than OEM sway bars. This means the bars are stronger with much higher roll stiffness to combat sway, and their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the greatest improvement in handling.

After that, to get the best overall handling, you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer. For your 2021 Forest River Georgetown 36K7 with a 24,000 lb GVWR built on a Ford F-53 chassis, the correct parts are the following:

- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-149

- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148

- Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM82RR

The combination of these three parts will dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your Forest River motorhome, allowing you to enjoy your time on the road instead of exhaustively attempting to keep your rig centered at all times.

Happy to help, and yes, there are helper springs that will fit and work with your motorhome. On their own, the helper springs won't be quite as effective as the anti-sway bars but they will assist in giving you a stable ride, and will also work alongside the anti-sway bars if you want to go that route. The correct parts for helper springs on your Forest River motorhome are the following: - Rear Axle: SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-54-1 - Front Axle: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-173-40-2 I have added some links below to video reviews of these for you to check out as well.

Somewhat, though axle stabilizers are really not something used much anymore; for example, there are none that fit your 2022 Georgetown GT5 34M on the Ford F-53 chassis. Axle stabilizers help (somewhat) with keeping side-to-side movement at bay, but…
