Recommended Suspension Enhancements for 2022 Thor ACE Motorhome on Ford F-53 Chassis
Question:
I own a 2022 Thor ACE 29.5 Class A motorhome. I am thinking of adding the Part 1259 -106 or 1259-116, but it says Not Confirmed to Fit. I was thinking adding the Front Anti-Sway Bar and the TruTrac Rod Kit. The problem is that the motorhome is hard to drive in a straight line and the wind and semis blow it around. I crossed a high bridge with a strong wind it it was a white knuckle crossing. Do I need a rear Stababizer too. Will this fit a 2022 Thor ACE.

From what I can find online, it appears your motorhome is built on the Ford F-53 chassis and since most coaches are built on the previous years model, I presume your 2022 Thor ACE Motorhome is built on the 2021 Ford F-53 chassis. Please verify this and identify the GVWR of you specific motorhome.
I suggest the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM25VR along with the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets, # RM62VR. These fit 16,000 to 26,000 GVWR chassis.
There is a front sway bar available, # RM-1139-148 for 24K or 26K GVWR chassis but for the lower GVWR chassis I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs, # SSF-170-40-2 for the front axle. SumoSprings expand and compress vertically with minimum expansion to the sides, so they won't be damaged by nearby mechanical parts, and they fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike air springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment.
