Suspension upgrades 2021 Coachmen Encore 325ss

[Take the longway home]

Purchased a 2021Coachman Encore 325ss this past August and was thinking about installing the Sumo helper springs on front and rear of the rig . Just wondering if anyone has installed these or has done any other upgrades to improve the ride and handling.
Thanks for your response in advance.

Depending on how much you want to spend, LiquidSpring might be a great solution. I have it on the rear of my E-450. I’m quite sure it is a available for the F53 chassis, at about $20k if you do both front and rear. Or you can probably just do the rear for half that price, where you’d get the most improvement for your money. It greatly improves handling. Although the ride won’t ever equal a passenger car or SUV, the ride with LiquidSpring is better, too. https://liquidspring.com/rv-suspensions/

Improving the ride is a pretty broad statement. You can spend thousands on " improvements "

If you looking for a smooth ride, like a air ride diesel RV, additional rubber springs, like Sumo springs, are not going to do it.

Sumos help in sway control but anti sway bars do a better job without firming up the ride.

Behind Bars, Thanks for the information. I'm sure liquid springs would give me a ride upgrade, but not looking to invest that much at this time.

Twinboat, I' m probably going to research both, upgrading sway bars and Sumo springs.
Thanks for the reply

If research is looking for opinions on this site about Sumos, expect lots of " They are great " responses.
It's human nature to like something you paid a lot of money for.

I had Sumos in my last class A and after 1 long trip I removed them.

I've added front and rear Helwig sway bars, Super Steer rear track bar, and a Safe-T-Plus front steering stabilizer on our 2020 Leprechaun. Probably spent around $2,000 and installed them myself. No one addition made a huge difference but all together the handling is much better. Especially when towing the Jeep. Still wondering if new shocks would be worth the investment.

Have Safety plus on the rig already. Looking into other options. As you mentioned Super steer rear track bar and sway bar for front and back.
Thanks
