Sunseeker Class C Suspension Upgrades Tested

However, I feel that the track bar contributes significantly to feeling less movement of my rig when a big rig blasts by me in the left lane, or the opposite lane on a two lane road. Of course, this just be my rationalization for spending a lot of time and money on this upgrade. But I don't think so.

The steering stabilizer probably contributed less, but it was a worthwhile upgrade and was the easiest to install.

I have just got to ask. Why do you people buy these units and then spend thousands of dollars with upgrades. Why do you accept crap from the manufacturers. I am just trying to understand the logic in this.

I think many of use are doing that when we buy almost any RV. We accept crap from the manufactures and spend more to make it better. It is not logical but often it is our only choice.

Although the price is high, it seems like it has the potential to do much more for the ride than shocks and sway bars. Perhaps I’ll need to be the one to try it out.

You may not be the first depending on when we can get our install scheduled for the LS suspension [emoji3]

We have pretty much decided to keep our 3051 for retirement so the upgrade will be worth while.

Hi! I’ve just invested in the Helwig stabilizer bars and they’ll be installed by same mechanic that will be checking alignment and camber on my 2020 FR SunSeeker 2350LE. I searched for Bilsteins, but they’re hard to find right now. I’ve been told they are still about 2-3mos out for availability.

So, I hope you can share why you chose the Koni’s. From what I can find, they appear to be best suited for Class A’s and B’s, but not C’s?? Do you know the reason for that?

Thanks much,

I chose the koni fsd based upon others reviews being mostly positive. Also money was not a consideration in my case. I feel they are a big improvement over the stock shocks. I also added a track bar in the rear, helwig sway bars front and back, the steering stabilizer, and an alignment. All were done individually and all provided some small improvements.
