After reading a lot about suspension upgrades and several camping trips, I finally decided to do that on my 2015 Axis 24.1 as well. I started with wheel alignment and then Sumo's front and rear first. That was nice improvement with no side to side rocking. Next project involved replacing Ford's stock "jokes" ( I meant shocks). I could not believe how bad they were until I was able to remove them. One up front and one in the back were completely shot. The other two were hardly retracting. Basically, I had no shocks on 12,500 lb vehicle and the factory stop bumps were non existent as well. With Sumo's and new Billstein HD in place I finally started enjoying the ride but the sway was still there. I guess I was not paying attention to that before since the spring helpers and shocks were so bad but now I could clearly experience the sway and MH body movements. So, I just received the Safe-T-Plus stabilizer (31-140) with mounting kit (E-353K14) and front Hellwig sway bar (7718). That is my tomorrow's project.
Now, I have a question here. Should I consider getting the Hellwig sway bar for the rear as well? Will that upgrade inprove the ride and handling even more?
