Timeout! Before you do anything that involves spending thousands of dollars try the following (they cost nothing but a little time):
1. Weigh the coach and get your tires inflated to hold the weight you are carrying.
2. Drive it and then drive it some more. When you get 3-4000 miles under your belt, then make the suspension mods, if you still need them.
A driving tip or two for you: 1) Drive with your eyes a 1/4 mile or more in front of the coach; 2) lock your elbows into the arm rests and only steer with your wrists - this will prevent the oversteering that is common to all new motorhome drivers.
Keep a log of your driving experience. Note things like wind (direction and speed), crown of the road, type of road (interstate, US highway, state or local). Effects from passing trucks, etc.
When you decide you need upgrades, you have a much better idea of what you want to fix.
