For your 2023 Coachmen Pursuit 31BH you will need the Front SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 and Rear SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-184-40-1. If you were to select only one to install first I recommend the rear springs since that is where the majority of your weight sits and they will help to reduce the amount of body roll you feel.

If you are looking to get the best ride quality I have seen dramatic increases by adding both the SumoSprings above with the Roadmaster Front # RM72MR and Rear # RM25VR sway bars along with the Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM63RR. This full combination greatly improves the ride quality and make driving your motorhome more enjoyable.
