I'm pretty happy with the way it drives now. My next suspension upgrade will probably be Bilstein HD shocks.


My big 32 ft. class C is very heavy at the rear, so I think it could use some sort of helper springs or extra leaf in the leaf springs. I don't think it needs any more spring rate up front, and the bigger front swaybar provides extra dynamic spring rate, so adding Sumo springs up front doesn't make sense to me, at least not for my rig. They would probably be helpful at the rear though.
My tail is a little overweight where the front is light. Nothing I can do. No place to shed the weight. I'm flying solo and half the cabinets are empty.

Is it possible rear suspension upgrades might push some of that weight forward (he prays)?


I also got off the phone with a commercial alignment place and was told that it's not certain but sometimes the camber shims have to be replaced. They'd obviously have to see it before they could say. It may not need them.
