Expert Reply:

You are going to want to start with adding the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM47MR to your 2019 Jayco Redhawk 26XD. This steering stabilizer helps to reduce wandering and will greatly increase the ease of keeping the steering tracking straighter with less white knuckle feel.

The J-Ride suspension adds a balanced driveshaft, front and rear sway bars, Hellwig helper springs and rubber isolators to help reduce vibrations. You can also look at adding a rear suspension enhancement like the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-130-54. These particular springs can fit since they do not sit on top of the leaf springs like the heavier SumoSprings you likely found. The Timbren # TFERSD are likely going to be the best option to help reduce the rear end sag since they have a higher capacity of 5,600lbs versus the SumoSprings at only 2,800lbs. The reduction in rear end sag will help to put more of the weight back on the front axle. This will help reduce the floating/light front end feel.
