Sumo springs worth the investment?
Have read that installing Sumo springs will make a world of difference. Looking for anyone that can validate. I am about to have Bilstien's installed and figured since the rig will be in the shop might as well go all out. Thoughts appreciated. (My rigs in my sig)

Since you already have airbags I'm wondering what the Sumo springs will do for you.
I have an 8 airbag suspension on my Windsor and can't complain about the ride or handling.

I can't see the benifit and would think they may do more harm than good.

I can't comment as I don't know what "Sumo Springs" are or where you install them. Sanford

Don't know if they make a set for a Roadmaster chassis, their web site doesn't list Roadmaster, can't imagine one air bag would be that much different. Shocks will make the difference.
I might consider changing bags if I was starting to have trouble with leaks.

Not needed on your 2006 40ft Knight. There is a ride improvement kit for your model from Source Engineering Inc.
