Recommended Suspension and Sway Improvements for 2002 Winnebago Adventurer

Question

Question:

Thank you so much for the information. It is a 2002 Adventuer 32v so I'm assuming it uses the parts you noted for the under 33' chassis. Also when looking at the videos online of the various products then my vehicle I see that I don't have any existing factory jounce springs on the unit. But I assume the Sumo Springs will still fit. Thanks again, very helpful.

The order of support and stabilization I recommend is to first add the Rear Anti-Sway bar, then the Front Anti-Sway, then the Steering Stabilizer. Next use the Rear Helper Springs followed by the Front Helper Springs.

To give you my recommendations, I need to know what frame you have as well as the length and weight of the vehicle.

For instance, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1259-108 will work on the Workhorse W20 or W22 chassis if it is under 33 feet. If you have the W22 and it is 33 feet or longer then use Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1259-109. Ford also has two chassis options that will have alternate options.

Thanks for the response. The 32V is actually 33 feet long, so you will want the parts with the 33 foot option and you will need to determine if you have the Ford or Workhorse chassis as that model could have either. Your paperwork should help you determine the chassis as the two different chassis will require different components. The SuperSprings SumoSprings will fit your motorhome even though there aren't factory bump stops. They come with brackets that attach to the side of the frame.
