2015 Suspension

2015 Montana 3791RD. First trip, MI to TN. Family tailed us in their coach and informed me our new Montana had a heavy lean to the left. I checked suspension components and they all are fine. The left side (ODS) should be a lot heavier with 3 slides, kitchen appliances, bathroom, and most of Den furniture. So I get it, but I also realize that side of units suspension is not being used to full capacity. It should cause a rough ride and prove to put stress on the interior of the this unit. I would also suspect premature tire wear. So, what's the best suspension upgrades? It has the Mor ryde 3000. I just think this unit is too heavy for this standard suspension. #1325 Dry with #3735 carrying capacity. Any advice would be helpful!

I question whether your suspension is indeed, OK. Despite the three slides, you shouldn't have a heavy lean unless something is wrong.

As for upgrades, the best upgrade you can do is go to independent suspension and disc brakes (while you're at it). MorRyde does these conversions, but so can any well equipped and experienced dealerships. I preferred getting ours done by MorRyde as they have tons of experience doing them and offered a discount during the Fall Rally.
