For your 2016 Winnebago Vista LX 35F on a Ford F53 22,000lb chassis you will need the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 for the front suspension. For the rear suspension you will need the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-180-54-1.

If you are looking for the best ride quality and to reduce the body roll you will also want to replace your front sway bar with the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148 and add the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-149. I have added these to several motorhomes with the sumo springs and it made for an astonishing difference. For the rear sway bar you will need to check that the current U-Bolts on your leaf springs have atleast 1/2" of thread showing past the nut for the additional link plate to fit. If you do not you will also need either the Round U-Bolts # RM-590050-10 or Square U-Bolts # RM-590050-00.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

The torque spec for the rear U bolts on your 2019 F53 motorhome are dependent on the size. If you have 3/4 x 16 u bolts (and used a 1 1/8" socket to remove the nuts) then they torque to 250 lb-ft. If the u bolts are 7/8 x 14 (and you used a 1…
