So, I'm more concerned with sway and control than I am with comfort, but more comfortable is always welcome. I am considering installing the Timbren SES on the front. I am wondering if anyone has done this on their Sprinter, and what the results were.
We took our Sprinter RV to The Sprinter Store (Upscale Automotive) and had the front and rear shocks replaced with Konis, added a leaf
to each of the rear springs, and replaced the rear sway bar with a
heavier bar.
This pretty much eliminated the side to side rock and roll you get
when entering or exiting parking lots. Also made the coach much
more stable when parked and walking around in it.
On the road, the Koni's and the sway bar have resolved the push and
wiggle we used to experience with 18 wheelers. And there is no
sudden lurch to the side when hit by an unexpected gust of wind.
The cost was under $2,000 for parts and labor, and definitely worth every penny.
