Expert Reply:
You know it wouldn't hurt Rex. Front Sumo Springs like item # SSF-171-40-2 will help with traction, steering, and braking. It'll definitely be a solid upgrade on your Georgetown's stock suspension.
The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-187-54-1, you were looking at, are confirmed to fit your 2008 Forest River Georgetown Motorhome 378. These have a 7,000 lbs and really help with that top heavy body roll feeling.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get these springs set up. If you have any additional questions feel free to add them to the comment box below.
