Helpful Expert Reply:

The most beneficial component that you can add to your motorhome's suspension is a rear anti-sway bar or in your case, an upgraded rear anti-sway bar. For your 2014 Forest River Georgetown 360DS on a Ford F-53 Chassis, I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149 which features a 1-5/8" diameter bar and polyurethane bushings.

I have attached an install video for you on a similar motorhome with the same chassis.

If you are still looking for further improvements once the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149 is installed you would then want to add a set of SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs, part # SSF-173-40-2 for the front and part # SSR-187-54-1 for the rear. If you really wanted to go all out then you could also add a front anti-sway bar, the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-148. To summarize; Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar first, SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs second, then Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar last. I have attached install videos for you on similar motorhomes with the same chassis.

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.
