THOR #5190
Shortly after getting our 30.1 last year we had a tough drive from Denver to Northern California and back. The coach was particularly sensitive to passing trucks and wind (thought I might end up in the Colorado River coming through Debec canyon with 40 MPH gusts). This was with a Safe-T-Plus and front CHF.

Over the winter I had the coach aligned, replaced the way too soft Bilstein shocks with Koni FSD's. did the rear CHF and installed a Super Steer track bar. Handling was orders of magnitude better. Koni's killed the porpoising and the track bar killed almost all of the passing truck push/suck.

Only other issue we have is that on some of the mountain back roads we get lots of sway which I think adding Sumo's will go a long way in fixing. Coming back from Yellowstone via Bear Lake/Vernal/Steamboat, a lot of those 50MPH curve signs really meant 40. Jerry was enticing me to do the Sumo's myself, but I'm still on the fence on that one.
