Question:

To Whom...I just picked up a 2016 bounder 35k i am going to go with the sumo ssf-170-40-2 for the front, my first question is for the rear am i better off with superspring over load springs or the ssr-187-54-1 sumos? Also what is the recommended steering stabilizer and sway bar set-up front and rear for this coach? Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

We have just the parts you're looking for!

To go with the Sumo Springs # SSF-170-40-2 on the front axle of your 2016 Fleetwood Bounder I recommend using the Sumo Springs Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-54-1. I prefer these over the SuperSprings Sway control kit because they'll do a little bit better job of helping with body roll while not stiffening up your leaf spring suspension too much, and they're a great match for the front Sumo Springs. The Sumo Springs are designed to get progressively stiffer as more weight is applied to them, so they're not going to be as harsh if your coach isn't fully loaded and overall will provide a more comfortable ride.

For the front and rear sway bars, the Roadmaster # RM-1139-148 would be the correct front sway bar, and the Roadmaster # RM-1139-149 is the correct rear sway bar. For the steering stabilizer, you'll want to use the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer Bar # RM-RBK22-RSSA; all of these are confirmed fits on your 2016 Fleetwood Bounder 35K.

I've linked some installation videos of all of these parts for you to have a look at if you're going to be doing the installation yourself; they're a great guide to follow along with.
