P32 More Bang 4 Your Buck Ride?

[iRV4FUN]

I have a 2003 P32 Stock Chassis with 8,500 miles. I want to improve my ride and handling. Which of the following would be the greatest bang for my buck?

* UltraTrac Front Springs
* Safe-T-Plus Steering Control
* idp Front Sway Bar
* UltraTrac Bellcranks
* UltraTrac Shock Upgrade
* Koni Front & Rear Shocks
* UltraTrac Rear Trac Bar

I have some waging and my front requires my full attention though not unmanageable with bags properly inflated.

I had new 2005 P32 on a Itasca Sunova 30'. I put a rear trac bar on that took care of 80% of my steering problems. I then put a safety T steer and it took care of the rest of my steering problems. I did no other suspension mods so I can not answer about shocks or springs.
I was just happy to be able to drive it without wondering where it was going to go.

I feel the items that really improved the ride were:
Koni's on all corners
replace front air bags with springs
rear track bar
front sway bar spreader

I'm leaning towards the rear stabilizer bar for this year and front stuff (including re-pack bearings and alignment) when I go with new tires next year. I noticed there are 3 whom offer rear stabilizer bar.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Blue Ox TigerTrak
SuperSteer rear stabilizer
Ultra-Trac thru Brazels[/list]
The Blue-Ox and SuperSteer look like the same part only different paint. Is there any difference?

The very first thing that I did to my motorhome was install a rear tack bar. Definitely the most bang for your buck.

I'm going to agree with Mike from Brazel's about the order to try things...

But before you go the route of buying new parts, go the route of getting things loaded as you'd normally drive, weigh the vehicle as has been documented all over the forum. Inflate the tires to the right pressures, then get a good alignment done.

I did the above and both my ride and handling improved enough that I haven't really felt a significant need to do anything more. The only issue that I don't like is the handling in gusty winds...I believe a TracBar will help that.

Rocket, you are correct a Trac Bar will help greatly in those conditions. It will also help keep your coach stable when other large vehicles pass you.
