forgive me if I double posted this. I have a 2018 Alante 26X. I was unable to drive over 50MPH on the interstate. I added a Safety-T-Plus, moved the front sway bar to the lower holes and added a rear sway bar. I now can get up to 60-62 MPH on the interstate. What is the next item to add to get more control? Rear track bar, Koni shocks, sumi springs?

How is the front end alignment?
I did the CHF (both front and rear) and Safe-T-Plus and I now can drive down the road with "one arm on the wheel" (my apologies to Alabama's' Dixieland Delight).

Front end alignment, if already done rear trac bar.

Get at the rear of your motorhome stationary. Push sideways hard. If you do this and you see movement and oscilation, then install a rear trac bar. This highly reduces wind pushing your coach. Both wind and trucks. Works well on smaller chassis, I have 18k precept with 19.5 tires.

I took mine to Redlands Truck and RV and had them assess based on my complaints. Initially it hung to lie in the back and would go into my driveway. Added leaf springs and a inch block. For stability added super steer rear end, Roadmaster steering stabilizer, koni shocks and then finally a year later the sumo springs. Sumo springs really took it to the next level of comfort and stability for us. They 4 corner weighed it and gave me the tire pressure they recommended for me based off the mods they made. Everything has been spot on since. I can easily hit 80 mph without realizing it on calm day and nice road...........
Redlands isn't the cheapest, but so far they have made me happy with my coach when I was ready to dump it.

On the sway bar topic, I'm looking for ways to improve handling on my 2017 Precept 31UL. My first thought was upgrading the front sway bar, so I crawled underneath to have a look at it. Turns out it came with a fairly beefy sway bar. Don't know how that happened. It is 1.75 inches in diameter and doesn't look like the standard Ford sway bar that I have seen pictures of. I'm wondering if I really need to upgrade it. Would a replacement help at all? Thanks for any opinions.
