They actually have some advantages over pushers, such a better cooling, easer access, 50+ more hp to be useable, no hot drivetrain under the bedroom.

FORD has engineered their suspension per the manufactures requests for a soft ride, and they got what they asked for, when the MHs are empty. What they need is stronger springs with more travel before hitting the bump stops.
