Helpful Expert Reply:

Both the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFERSD and the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-107-54 would be good options for your Lexington Motorhome on a Ford E-450 chassis. But with the added weight that comes with this being a Motor home on the chassis, I would recommend going with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFERSD because they have double the weight capacity of the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-107-54.

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFERSD provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. They provide additional support as needed and provide the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning light loads so it does not affect the empty ride of the vehicle. They will help to extend the life of your vehicle's suspension and they work independently side to side to help compensate for off center loads and reduce body roll when swerving and turning corners.
