dcowley- Could you please give some more detailed info about the Reflex steering stabilizer please ? Like what did you feel it improved, price, installation etc. Most of the other devices you have installed have been pretty well discussed before but I have never seen mention to that particular brand or style of steering stabilizer.
I have only the trac bar, front anti-sway, Koni shocks, safe-t-plus and the super springs.
I elected to install the super springs because, at the time, Jayco was not retrofitting with the 19K springs. I think that the 19K springs AND the super springs could be a little overkill. The super springs raised up the back a couple of inches and now the MH sits perfectly level when loaded.
As the rear weighs 14,700 lbs, to have the rear sprung at 25K seems a bit stiff. If the 19K springs and the 6K super springs are both installed this would seem to make the rear very stiff. The rear axle is only rated for 15K lbs.
With my additions I have no problems with wind and/or trucks passing me. If fact if I don’t pay attention to the mirrors I don’t even know a truck is passing until I see them go by. Does not drive quite as good as my suburban, but not a lot different.
I have driven in 40-50 mph winds in the California desert and felt very comfortable.
While these additions are not inexpensive, I feel they are worth the investment to make the MH much more stable and easy to drive.
If the 19K springs and the 6K super springs are both installed this would seem to make the rear very stiff.
Glamis,
The opposite appears to have happened the RV (according to the rear riding passengers) is actually smoother now than it was before.
Maybe at times the fully loaded RV was bottoming out and now it strictly floats on the springs... or maybe the way the SUPERSPRING couples with the 19k spring makes for a smoother ride. I really don't know but I know I have been told everything is so much smoother in the back going down the road.
