Before you spend anything on suspension modifications, have the coach aligned. The raw chassis may be properly aligned, but the added weight changes the dynamic.

You will need to find a shop that can handle trucks. It cost me around $160 at Josams in Orlando, arguably the best in the country. Some have had luck getting Ford to reimburse the cost. Others, no luck with that.
Thanks Mr. Sunshine for the advice...we've decided to take a short shake-down trip to Florida before heading out to California, so an alignment in Orlando would work out great. Do you have contact info for Josams?
