24' Sprinter suspension upgrade

Hello all. Just completed the replacement of rear shocks and changed out sway bar (see attached). After reading the different forum posts and calling some dealers, I decided on the Fox shocks sold by VanCompass. I also selected the Hellwig sway bar.

I installed the shocks first and I must say that made the bigger difference compared to the sway bar. Highway driving is so much quieter going over expansion joints. The RV isn't rattling anymore!

The sway bar added some additional stability and I'm glad I did both. Now thinking of messing with the front suspension, but not sure it would have the same results as I'm guessing the weight on the front struts are similar to the stock Sprinter.
