Question:

I am looking at adding some rear suspension enhancement to my 2021 Ace 32.3 Motorhome. I'm trying to decide between adding this Timbren system or SumoSprings. Can you help me out?

The Timbren # TFRF53A and SumoSprings # SSR-187-40-1 are very similar, which often makes it difficult to decide which is best. Both work independently to help compensate for off-center loads and reduce body roll when swerving and turning corners. They also help to add support reducing sag and minimizing sway. Both have progressive load control so they become stiffer the more they are compressed to help with heavier loads.

For your 2021 Ace 32.3 Motorhome I would recommend the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-40-1 over the Timbren. The reason is these tend to offer a smoother ride overall. Based on feedback we have received the SumoSprings are not as stiff so you will have a better ride quality in your Motorhome.

I have attached an installation video on a 2018 Thor Windsport which also shows the difference in ride quality before and after the installation of the SumoSprings for your reference.
