I strongly recommend getting a NRVIA professional inspection of whatever rig you decide you want to purchase. It can mean the difference between a dream and a nightmare.

Locate - NRVIA
 
I work as a product specialist and have been in RVs for the last 3 years. I have carried Thor Vegas which is sister product to the Axis, built identical. Of the motorhomes I have sold, those units seem to typically need some aftermarket parts in order to correct the drive. I have recommended before sale having the front suspension upgraded, most of the time folks will say no and then down the road come back in get it. It is a great little coach, but I would strongly suggest taking this unit down the highway on a test drive before purchasing.
Thank you for spelling this out. I had been concerned about the ride and al leaning away from this option.
 
If I were you, I'd take what CharlesSpeaks said with a grain of salt.
No doubt, throwing a ton of $ into the front and rear end will improve the handling and ride, BUT.....It is not necessary! My '18 Axis rides quite well stock! It is not a car, let alone a track vehicle. It is a motorhome, pure & simple.
The only thing I did was have a four wheel alignment, which any motorhome needs from day one. (The chassis is aligned at the factory, but not after a ton of motorhome gets bolted to it. Have the alignment done by a truck service center--NOT the RV dealer.
Drive your new motorhome for awhile and then decide.
