Suspension improvements

[Goldencrazy]

Had Safe T Plus, centramatics installed. Front end alignment and Roadmaster rear Sway Bar adjusted. Original install was slightly twisted. My 38 Q is so much tighter. Riding like a dream.

I agree that some mods should be standard equipmen. The steering stabilizer is a safety item. It impacts wandering in wind or bad roads or just the turbulence by a passing truck. It prevents accidents caused by road debris. It should be as much standard equipment as seat belts. The centramatics are a preference. The wheel alignment is maintenance. I do this to my cars. The rear sway bar is something I tossed into my bargaining for the purchase. I am not sure I would have done it otherwise. I like the fact Tiffin is making some suspension improvements an option like sumo springs. I have done many other mods with new motorhomes in the past. This one rides and handles besotted with no changes so these changes are enhancements where they were a necessity in the others.

With my old P32, I did change out the front coils to eliminate those ridiculous air bags. Still it rode and handled well, both ways.
With our most recent and present coach, I have no plans to mod anything and again, why should I have to?

Yes it would be nice but Ford does not make a perfect chassis, but with a few mods it does get a lot better, however I still think Ford does a good job its the RV maker that really fails in most areas.

Did the Safety + last year, just finished the front and rear sway bar adjustments this morning. Easy do it yourself job, major handling improvements. Should have done this years ago. Happy travels.

+1 on the Safe-T-Plus steering damper. We had that installed prior to picking up our `17 Tiffin 35 QBA. Also had Sumo Springs installed during the build at the factory. Handles pretty good so far. 24k chassis. Front end alignment is always a good idea with weighing and checking tire pressures. Sway bars and track bar so far not indicated.
