The first and most important suspension upgrade you will want to make on your 2018 Jayco Precept 36T is an upgraded rear anti-sway bar, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149. The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar is going to help minimize the floating/rocking feeling while out on the highway which is typically the most common complaint with a motorhome and the weakest component from the factory.

The second most important suspension upgrade you will want to make is a set of SumoSprings, the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-183-54-1 for the rear and the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-173-40-2 for the front. The SumoSprings are going to help minimize porpoising (up and down bouncing) while out on the highway which is yet another common complaint with a motorhome and one of the weaker components of the factory suspension.

The addition of the above three components will make a dramatic overall improvement to the ride and stability of your Jayco Precept.

The Extended U-Bolt Kit part # RM-590050-00 (square) or part # RM-590050-10 (round) may be needed to install the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149 on your 2018 Jayco Precept 36T but I cannot give you a yes or no answer. The only way to know for sure would be to crawl under the motorhome and take a look at the factory u-bolts to ensure there is enough threads left to install an additional 1/2" plate.
