Recommended Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2018 Thor Vegas 24.1 Built On E-450 Chassis

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Thor Vegas 24.1 class A motorhome on the Ford E450 chassis.I have already installed front timbren bump stops but am considering replacing them with the front and read suspension kit. Any advise if I need to replace the front bump stops and just use the read kit or change the front along with the new rear kit.

I would be happy to help!

Since you already have the Timbren front bump stops installed on your 2018 Thor Vegas 24.1' Class A Motorhome built on the E-450 chassis there is no reason to replace them.

I would keep them and just add the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFERSD to the rear axle.

This will give additional support to your rear suspension, and will further decrease the sway and body roll your motorhome has giving you a more enjoyable ride.

I included a video of the # TFERSD for you to take a look at.

The Timbren #TFERSD Aeon springs you'd looked at would be a fit for your motorhome on a 2021 Ford E-450 cutaway van chassis. Timbren makes a great product, but the springs are pretty stiff and my fear is that you won't be happy with the ride…

The spring found in our #TFERSDLB is 5-3/16" x 4-5/16", and the bracket is 1-1/2" tall. Fully assembled the kit will be 6-11/16" tall. We recommend around 1 inch of clearance from the bottom of our spring to the axle.
