Road Master steering Damper, front summo springs, and Ford alignment.
These have greatly improved the drive ability of the unit.
We intend to eventually tow a car, so While I am upgrading the rear suspension for ride and help with sway. what is better to put in?

Rear summos or Firestone Air rides?

Rear Helwig track bar or anti sway bar?

and last will replacing the factory shocks help improve the ride.

thanks in advance for your help this forum has already made our first MH more fun and more usable.

I have SUMO’s & Helwigs on both front and rear
Any mods done on front are most noticeable.

My suggestion...
- start with SUMO’s on rear. That’s the most cost effective modification.
- do not add Air-Springs. Not worth it IMO
- Helwigs are a nice mod, but abt $600 (parts only for front & rear). Will be a $1000+ install if some one does it for you vs DIY

Bottomline...re-evaluate after the SUMO’s are installed on rear. You may find that you are happy with those results
