Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2014 Thor A.C.E. 30.1 To Reduce Driver Fatigue

Question:

Are there special shocks and tires that are known to help stabilize steering especially when there are grooves in the road? I have a 2014 Thor Ace 30.1 and have already purchased from you front and rear sway bars, steering stabilizer. Very much helped minimize swaying but not so much steering problems. What ideas if any do you suggest?

If you've already added anti-sway bars and a steering stabilizer then the next thing I'd recommend are some SumoSprings to help cushion the suspension and help reduce the road shock giving you steering issues. For the front of your 2014 Thor A.C.E. 30.1 Class A Motorhome you'll need the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2. For the rear you'll need the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-40-1.

This springs have a progressive load control, meaning that springs have a softer start for a smoother transition when you do hit those bumps in the road. Each spring works independently so they'll also help a bit with any swaying or body roll that you experience when travelling. I've attached a couple of videos below where we'll walk you through the installation process and show you the springs in action so that you can get a better idea of how these can improve your ride quality.
