Coachman Beyond Suspension Help

[thechelsea]

The ride is really rough. Have tons of injuries in my back. Bought a 2025 coach/2024 transit.

The Shop wants to know what I wanna do with the suspension because they don’t want me to spend a bunch of money and promise that it’ll change anything in particular because they don’t really know.

Does anybody have any advice on how to make the ride smoother?

The black sumo springs are already on there. There is a gap at rest on the back. The Front is engaged. Front shocks have a big coil all the way over them.

Wondering if it could be the tires as well.

It’s just seems so rigid.

We took the sumo springs off in the front to see what it felt like, and it was swaying a lot. So I’m not gonna do that.

Have you weighed the coach, to know each axle weight, and then look up what the tire pressures should be (based on your tires and axle weight)?
If tires are inflated to the max pressure shown on the sidewall, more than likely your tires may be over inflated giving a harsh ride.

Everything suspension wise is a compromise. Most folks are OK with the Transit, but it is nowhere near the ride of the Sprinter based vehicles. You have a local delivery work truck, now almost fully loaded, ride is compromised. Adding the Sumo springs or anything to reduce roll and sway will make the ride worse.

Don't know what is available for your vehicle, but modifying suspension is not likely the answer.

If available look for a seat that has a suspension. Can't say there is one, but Worth a shot.
