Suspension Upgrades For 2019 Forest River FR3 33DS on F53/F550 Chassis

Question:

Hi there, looking to completely upgrade the suspension on my 2019 Forest River FR3 33DS. Has an F53/F550 chassis. Figured I would start with the reflex steering stabilizer and then add the anti-sways followed by shocks as time went on. Was wondering what parts and associated brackets I would need to start off with for the reflex steering stabilizer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

For your steering stabilizer you should use the Roadmaster # RM-RBK22-RSSA stabilizer kit with mounting brackets. This stabilizer uses a tempered steel spring to keep the steering in line. When compressed, it will extend back to neutral, and when extended it will retract back to neutral. This reduces road fatigue by making it easier to steer. It helps with crosswinds, uneven pavement, rut tracking, road edging, or even a tire blowout so you can easily maintain control.

For the rear Anti-Sway Bars you will want the Roadmaster # RM-1139-149 kit which minimizes side-to-side movement to improve overall stability of your vehicle and diminishes the effects of crosswinds, passing motorists. Includes heavy-gauge mounting hardware, easy-to-follow instructions and bushing lubricant.

For front Anti-Sway Bars the Roadmaster # RM-1139-148 kit includes everything you need, and like the rear kit it will reduce sway side-to-side.

These components will help most with handling, but you can also use suspension enhancement to assist. For non-air systems, I recommend the SumoSprings # SSF-170-40-2 for the front and # SSR-187-40-1 for the rear. These will help absorb bumps and shocks and minimize sway while also helping to level the vehicle.
