Comparing Air Lift Suspension and SumoSprings On 2019 Thor ACE Motorhome 27.2
Question:
I want to upgrade the suspension in the 2019 A.C.E motorhome 27.2 on ford f-53 chassis are air lift air bags or sumosprings better, easier to use? I am going to install a sway bar with the factory one is that a good idea?

Air bags for the 2019 Thor ACE motorhome 27.2 are fine, however they do require some upkeep so they are not easier. I recommend to use the SumoSprings part # SSF-170-40-2 for the front axle and part # SSR-187-40-1 for the rear axle.
The SumoSprings are easier to install and do not require any upkeep. They are basically an install it and forget it suspension enhancement. The microcellular material of the springs allows for progressive load control that compresses according to the weight in the motor home so it will always be a comfortable ride for you.
It is a great idea to install a sway bar first, I recommend Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-146 on the Thor Motorhome to help balance the weight when you make turns to combat sway.
