Trackbar, additional rear sway bar and beefer front sway will work wonder but cost a lot and add a lot of weight.

On my previous Class a Gasser someone convinced me to try SummoSprings. It was immediately changed the ride. Getting out of a driveway and turning hard right is no issue anymore. Very little rool. Small bumps, especially speed bumps are nice a solid without a lot of bump. Road noise is quieter based on less sway while driving at speeds. But a bad road is still felt. For the cost it was great and did not add anything else after that.

So in my 2018 Challenger (2017 Ford F53), I did this straight away and same as my last, you feel the minute you drive it away.

Someone stated Alegro Gas coaches are now coming stock with SummoSprings. That states a lot.

Re-read my post # 27 above or the quotes below. There is absolutely no guarantee that what one did on and RV will give the same results on the next RV. Just because a manufacturer uses a specific shock or spring (Sumo) again is no guarantee of the same or even similar results. There are several Sumo Spring designs.

"There are only a few MODS/adjustments that will universally achieve positive results.
1. Tire pressure. Tire sizes 19.5" & 22.5" The 22.5" tire rides better.
2. Having the alignment angles checked and set within specs.
3. Either employ the free CHF or spend $1000 on larger SB.
4. Add a rear TB or Track Bar. "
