...the spring he was so unhappy with the ride he called his dealer to inquire about trading it in for DP. Dealer recommended he look into LiquidSprings which he did and had installed early August at the factory. He is also a believer having driven about 2000 miles since installation.
He said...
...steering stabilizer, an Ulra-Trac track bar, & added Sumo front springs!
Oh what an improvement over the stock suspension! Not a "DP" ride but huge improvement over any "stock" gas coach!
I may bite the bullet & install "Liquid Spring" suspension, front & rear, expensive, but will be worth it!:)
!
I believe that sooner than later to list and sell is key. Best of luck, we did the same, sold and purchased a vacation hose now we are back………RVing is an addiction 😉
...I am sure this coach will be great!
Now I'm lusting after a more expensive coach that ticks all boxes except it is on RAM 5500 (with LiquidSprings) and I hear rumor they may be considering the Ford F600 or F650 chassis which would give more CCC and towing. It also runs on "super single"...
...the heaviest allowable cargo capacity.
After 3 years, loaded with everything we carry, "DI" washer, power washer, ladders, etc, etc, & "Liquid Spring suspension; while at the "NKK International" we had the coach weighed at all 4 corners. Total weight now is 25,060, on a 26,000 GVWR chassis...
I'd never rode in a vehicle with LS prior to getting it installed in our rig. I only knew what I read and researched about it. I was still a little skeptical, so I got a bid from a friend who has a Commercial Truck business to install an air ride suspension. He recommended I go with the LS...
...Other than maintenance, oil changes, set of tires, etc we had essentially zero issues with it over the time we owned it.
I think the LiquidSprings we had installed went a long way to helping the house portion with the ride so much better, less vibration coming in.
Minor things like...
Joe has done a ton to his rig. Jabber Jaw has also worked to improve his. When we had the CS (3719) we started with the Safe-T-Plus, did the Cheap Handling Fix, and were looking at the liquidsprings when we decided to shift to a DP.
Best of luck.

...side of our house before or after a trip, at least in the summer.
And after much discussion between the wife and myself we are going forward with four corner liquidspring installation. Not only will we have a improved driving experience, but our Rv won’t be getting hammered going down the road.
I am inclined to agree with you. There is only so much you can do. The biggest improvement is the LiquidSprings set up. But the cost is very high. For front & back you are looking at $18 to $20K. So IMHO if you are going to pay that much for ride improvements, you might as well move up to a...
FORD F-53 SUSPENSION COMPONENTS;
I had LiquidSpring Suspension installed on my 2020 Newmar Canyon Star, and do not need the aftermarket suspension components I added to it.
Koni Shocks, front #8805-1018, rear #8805-1019, will fit 1998-current. $120 each, $480. New ones are $170 each...
...Suspension, but we installed Supersteer heavy front sway bar, SuperSteer Front Radius Rods, Safe-T- Plus , Koni Front Shocks, and a LiquidSpring Rear Suspension. The RV was rock steady and stable. The radius rods improved "turn in" incredibly. No delay in turns especially on local roads...
...I'm biased, but all one needs to do, is compare it to any other "gas" Coach manufacturer! I've looked at all of them.
By having added LiquidSpring suspension to my coach, I have, without a doubt, the finest riding "gas" coach in the entire RV Industry. A bold statement, but just drive one...
...Now running 88 psi all around and it also came with Sumo,s. Improved ride, but still rolled, swayed, porpoises and beat you to death on the hiway. We ended up replacing shocks, sway bars, adding rear trac bar and saf-t-steer. Totally different vehicle. Cost about half of what LiquidSprings run.
...new rig. We had ours for just under five years, 2014 Forester 3051S - same just the Forester.
One thing we did for an upgrade was put liquidsprings on the rear. Made the ride a whole lot better, handled the passing semis etc with very little movement from the wind. Overall an upgrade worth...
What did you do for mods?
I am interested in the 3626 if I stay with a gas coach and plan to have liquidsprings installed front and rear if I get one.

Update; as of July 8th my LiquidSpring install was completed by R&H Spring Truck Repair located in New Jersey. First, they did a professional job, install went smooth ,no hiccups. I would not hesitate to use or recommend them for suspension work. Alright, I had a 250 mile trip home after I...
...And sometimes, better fuel mileage.
But, some of these differences can be improved upon, in a Gas coach!!
The biggest thing, adding LiquidSpring suspension, which will make the coach ride equal to, & in some cases better, than a comparable diesel coach, with a "SOLID FRONT AXLE & LEAF...
