Best SumoSprings For 2023 East to West Entrada 2700 NS on Ford E-350 Chassis
Question:
I have recently purchased an 2023 East to West Entrada 2700 NS class C motorhome on the Ford E350 chassis. It has the 12,500 GVWR package 1500ccc. I am looking for the best SumoSprings Solo for the front and rear. I was looking at the lighter duty 500 lbs SSF-106-40 set for the front, to avoid a harsh ride. Then for the rear which is handling most of the weight I was looking at the heavier duty 2800 lbs SSR-130-54 set to help with rear sag when loaded. I wanted to confirm these choices and fit before ordering, I do not want to make the ride too harsh. Please let me know if this is a good choice or should I be looking at other options, thank you.

Always smart to check, and the heavier-duty rear option is perfect for your 2023 East to West Entrada 2700 NS motorhome on a Ford E350 chassis, though instead of the 500 lb front springs, I would go with the slightly stronger 1,000 lb front springs. So the best option for SumoSprings for your motorhome are the following:
- Front Axle: SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-106-47
- Rear Axle: SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-130-54
The 1,000 lb front springs won't make the ride overly harsh, just provide you with more overall support at the front end. They will only engage as needed, and for a 12,500 lb GVWR Class C, the 500 lb springs may not compress enough to give your suspension the best possible support at all times.
With both springs installed, the overall handling of your rig is definitely going to improve, and you'll even notice it when turning, as it isn't going to have the pronounced body roll due to the SumoSprings engaging.
