I have decided on FRONT Sumo Springs and Roadmaster Steering stabilizer first. I am hoping that will help with the "sway" issue. The off centered steering wheel, I know that can be corrected WHEN I do the wheel alignment.

Now.... when I called to make my wheel alignment appointment at a reputable wheel alignment shop near my place (they did a great job on our previous Class C), the Shop Manager told me to have the Sumo Springs and Steering Stabilizer installed FIRST, before he do my alignment.

That is the reason why I purchased the 2 parts mentioned in my post and the reason why I tried to install them first.

I guess i will wait for Etrailer tech to call me back to find out if BOTH Sumo Springs and Roadmaster have a NEW VERSION for the 2021 F53.

Question for the members here: How about the Removal of the OEM Bump Stop and Installation on the TOP Sumo Spring issue (accessibility). If I remove the bolt from the OEM Bump Stop? How do I re-install and re-tighten the Bolt and Nut to install the Top Sumo Spring (in the scenario that the fitment issue of the BOTTOM part is resolved)....
I have / had very similar intentions. We did Safe T Plus stabilizer right away. 10k miles later firmly into year 2 we just ordered the Sumo Springs (Front & Rear) Actually received the Rear springs today. I am using my year 2 savings for NOT by Extended Warranty to pay for these Springs.

I got estimates from several places to help confirm the part number. I had a Seller offer me a price off ebay that I was considering; but when I told them the specs on my coach they told me it would NOT fit They had to be wrong because everyone else confirmed the part number. Seller then said, they were not an authorized Sumo Springs dealer and they used another catalog not made by Mfg to confirm fit

I walked from that Seller. I likely will not have the new Sumos installed until mid February; but I am anxious to see the difference.
