SumoSprings are going to be hands down the best option to help soften the harsh and bumpy stock ride of your 2019 Forest River Georgetown GT5 motorhome. For the front suspension you'll need the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 and for the rear you'll need the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-54-1.

These springs are made of a microcellular urethane material that has a much softer progression as weight is added to help prevent the jarring thump you feel when you hit a small bump in the road. Since they work independently of each other this can also help reduce the body roll you experience when making turns.

I've attached some videos below to help walk you through the installation process as well.
