As Waiter said, do the CHF first, front and rear. If you still need help a rear pan hard bar will make a big difference. If you need more, either Timbrens or Sumos will help the spring rates and get rid of the harsh jolts from big bumps.

Good luck, there are 381 pages on it here:
http://www.irv2.com/forums/f23/cheap...fix-72335.html
(and many other threads as well)
This video looks like a good summary:
Unfortunately, my MH has a Workhorse chassis so no CHF for me.

I appreciate all the suggestions. I'll do the CHF on the rear and see how that does.

When doing the rear, make sure the bar does not contact the rear end through the full travel. If it does, you may need to have the sway bar end links lengthen, or add adjustable ones.

Get a good alignment at a truck shop and save the rest of your money.

Well, that is a blanket statement that does not work for all Fore Class A's You can call the rest of what is suggested as "Fine tuning", but anything that makes the drive more relaxing and safe, is worth it.

Update:
I have now done the following upgrades (in order) CHF front and rear, rear Trac bar, Saf T Plus steering stabilizers, Roadmaster sway bars front and rear
Just did a Florida to NC round trip. Handling was much improved but still get pushed around by some of the 18 wheelers. It's not a game changer but it makes it hard to relax on the interstate. I don't know if I should continue with mods or suck it up?5

What other mods did you have prior to installing the Sumos?

Just remember you are driving a big square box not an arrow dynamic sports car. The wind is going to push you around. The more you drive it the better it will be.
