Best Way to Improve Ride Quality of 2021 Jayco Alante 31V Motorhome
Question:
Jayco Alante 31V. Id like to improve the ride so it doesnt shake your teeth out on the smallest pavement imperfection, and also improve steering response. I was thinking steering stabilizer and sumos front and rear. Would sway bars work better or....please help.

To improve the ride quality of your 2021 Jayco Alante Motorhome, there are a few enhancements that you can make. You are correct in choosing front and rear SumoSprings along with a steering stabilizer first.
For the steering stabilizer, I verified the correct fit for your rig is the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM63RR.
With regards to suspension and sway, coupling springs with sway bars is always a great option. However, if you only want one, then springs are the way to go since in addition to dampening how much bounce the motorhome gives, they also help a little with sway.
For your front springs, I recommend the Rebel Helper Springs, part # SSF-170-40-2. They're a two-piece design that provide much more suspension travel, allowing for a much smoother ride. For the rear, I recommend the Maxim Helper Springs, part # SSR-184-40-1. They have a 3000-pound capacity and feature progressive load control. Both of these are confirmed to fit the 2019-2021 F-53 chassis.
If, after you've installed these, you decide you want even more sway control, then Roadmaster also has sway bars for you. I recommend part # RM-1139-148 for the front and part # RM-1139-146 for the rear. These are confirmed to fit up to the 2020 F-53 chassis.
