Question:

I have a 2016 Thor ACE 27.2. We had a Thor Gemini and it handled completely different. I have read a lot of reviews with differing answers so I am wondering where to start. Some have said the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Front Axle - SSF-170-40-2 on the front with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle - AL88344 make a big difference. Others say the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes - RM-RBK22-RSSA made the biggest difference. While others say the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - RM-1139-146 and Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - RM-1139-148 are the way to go. The Gemini was a pleasure to drive while the ACE is work. Crosswinds and Trucks cause a lot of movement. I was not looking to install all 5 of the above, but the best combination to get a more enjoyable and safer drive.

For your 2016 Thor ACE Motorhome I recommend the Air Lift Loadlifter springs because you get the adjustable load support, and the comfort and reliability of air springs:

I recommend starting with springs as they will reduce sway and also help with weight support whereas the sway bars will only help with swaying.

For sway bars I recommend the Roadmaster Front and Rear Anti-Sway Bars because they will Minimize sway and driver fatigue by improving the stability and driveability of your Thor ACE Motorhome. The bars on these sturdy, effective anti-sway systems balance weight transfer and reduce body roll.
