That very much depends on the type of vehicle/chassis. Here’s some info on improving the ride on an F53:

Smoothing the ride

I own a 2018 Winnebago Sunstar and I'm considering adding Sumo Springs to the suspension (F550). Is anyone familiar with this product? I've been told that they reduce the more extreme bounces and also lessen the drift/float of the front axle (functions like a sway bar?)

The content of that thread should be good info for you. I would only caution that while most folks like Koni shocks I found that while they did improve handling a bit, the ride was even more harsh (on my Bay Star) and had I kept that rig I would have gone back to Bilstein shocks.

We had liquid springs installed on our E450 chassis.

I’ll just say they are worth every penny we spent!!

No more banging from the rear suspension, smoothed out the ride immensely, no longer a chore to drive, wind from passing trucks etc was a non event.

Now that we have had them we would have spent the money even though we weren’t planning on trading in the coach when we pulled the trigger.

Tiffin was including liquid springs as an option on their F53 chassis coaches - could be ordered with that installed.

The factory in Indiana has a Tiffin gas coach as a demo model they take to shows etc.

Not an inexpensive option but I have never read of anyone that had it done that said they wish they hadn’t.
