Question:
I have a 2004 Chevrolet 5500 Kodiak Endura Gulf Stream motorhome that I pull a 28 aluminum trailer that when loaded weighs around 8000lbs. I want to add a steering stabilizer, front and rear sway bars and airlift bags on the rear. Do I need to also a Sumo Springs on the front axle to replace the front jounce springs ?

Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. We can absolutely provide all those parts for your 2004 Chevy Kodiak/Endura Gulf Stream motorhome. Doing all of those at once will make a massive difference in how it rides and handles. Here are all of the exact part numbers you'll need:
- Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RBK5-RSSA
- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - 1-5/8" Diameter # RM-1109-158
- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-5/8" Diameter # RM-1109-157
- Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57292
- SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-281-47
Since you are doing all these upgrades I do recommend doing the front sumo springs as well. That will keep everything more even and level. With those plus the air bags, sway bars and steering stabilizer the difference in handling and ride quality will be night and day. It'll handle more like a car or truck. Way less white knuckling. Those long trips will be much less stressful and more enjoyable.
What do you usually haul in the 28' trailer?
