Recommended Anti-Sway Bar, Steering Stabilizer, and Air Bags for 2018 Thor ACE 30.3
Question:
I have a 2018 Thor ACE 30.3 on a 2017 Ford F53 chassis. My toad is a 2021 Wrangler Rubicon. I am looking to improve the ride and handling and I am thinking about a steering stabilizer, front and read anti sway and airbags. What do you recommend?

You're already on the right track with everything you looked at. Your 2018 Thor ACE 30.3 has a GVWR of 18,000 lbs so I recommend the following:
-Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM33RR
-Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-1/2" Diameter # RM-1139-146
-Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter # RM-1139-148
If you want to add air bags you can using the # AL88240 for the front and # AL57344 for the rear. However, I recommend using SumoSprings instead. The SumoSprings will give you the same kind of support without the need to maintain them and adjust the air pressure. You would need the # SSF-170-40-2 for the front and # SSR-187-40-1 for the rear. Either option is going to give you a nice comfortable setup when combined with the anti-sway bars and steering stabilizer.
I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.

Thank you for your quick reply. A couple of follow up questions- do the Air Lift LoadLifters come with an air compressor? If not, what do you recommend? If I'm going to purchase and install a compressor, I'd like to have one compressor to do the Air Lift as well as to fill tires as needed or would I need a separate compressor for the tires?

Robin, I am sorry to keep bothering you with questions! This should be the last- the Airlift AL27DQ has the ability to operate two sets (pairs) of air springs? Front and rear? Thanks again for all your help. Brad
