Thank you for all of the info!

According to Roadmaster you need the Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-176 and the Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-147.

Then for suspension enhancement I recommend the SumoSprings # SSR-106-54-1 for the rear and # SSF-106-47 for the front. The SumoSprings provide more support as more weight is added and the best part about them is that once you install them there is no maintenance. We have had a lot of customers install these on motorhomes and they love them because of this. This is the best option we have to upgrading your shocks as we don't carry replacement shocks for your motorhome.

I have attached some review videos for you to check out.
