Choosing Between SumoSprings or Timbren for 2013 Fleetwood Storm 32BH

Question:

Ive been looking at multiple reviews/videos on the difference between SumoSprings and Timbren. Both seem to be good solutions, but the SumoSprings are more than $200 more expensive per axle. Would you recommend one over the other? Would you recommend one product for the front axle and another for the rear? Just trying to gauge all my options. My biggest desire is to have a smoother ride and to eliminate much of the roll. Thank you,

Although either the # SSR-187-40-1 Sumo Spring or the Timbren # TFRF53A would be a great choice, the Timbren Aeon spring is actually rated higher at 8600 lbs, versus 2600 lbs for the Sumo Springs alternative. Neither of these options will come into play unless the factory suspension gets compressed. If ride quality is the more important consideration, the Sumo Springs option is what I'd recommend as they' give a more supple ride. If reducing roll in the corners is foremost in your mind, the stiffer Timbrens would do a better job of resisting body roll.

Adding either the Sumo Springs # SSF-170-40-2 or the Timbren # TFFF53B to the front suspension would be subject to the scenarios outlined above. Making the decision to add the products to the front or not will really depend on how bad you consider the ride quality and body roll.
