Sumo Springs VS Sway Bars on Ford F35 Motorhome
Question:
Hello I have a 2011 Georgetown 350TS. I know I am getting a Roadmaster steering stabilizer for sure but I am torn between Sumo Springs and the sway bars. Could you provide any experience or recommendations you might have on which one would provide the best overall results? Thank You!

It looks like your 2011 Georgetown 350TS sits on the Ford F53 chassis. (20,500 GVWR)
Many F53 Users report sway in the ride. Yes, I would get the Roadmaster # RM-RBK22-RSSA Steering Stabliliser with mounting brackets. Next I would adding the Roadmaster # RM-1139-145 Rear anti-Sway Bar.
If after trying those you feel you could use more control you could try front anti-sway or springs. I feel that the springs offer more verticle dampening whereas the sway bars have more horizontal control. I would pick anti-sway bars over springs. For front anti-sway bars you should use the Roadmaster # RM-1139-148 kit.
If you would prefer SumoSprings any way then you can use the # SSR-187-54-1 Rear Axle Springs, and the # SSF-170-40-2 front Axle Springs.
