As many have said, this product will not make your gas bus ride like a diesel push rod with airbag suspension, but you will be very happy with what I do for you. Just got our first ride after installing them on my 2008 Winnebago Vista and these springs have greatly reduced some very annoying vibrations. We also saw a huge improvement when it came to larger trucks passing us at highway speeds. What impressed me the most was how the bus handled the speed bumps at our favorite campground (Ft Wilderness). As we slowly cruise past the speed bumps at check-in, we usually prepare to slam. We were amazed as we silently crossed the speed bump and barely met the bus. Installation was relatively easy. I went to Harbor Freight, bought some cheap drill bits and drilled through the frame with little effort. You just have to be careful of the wires and hoses that run behind the frame when drilling. I was able to install the front and rear sumo set without removing the tires with a jack in about 4 hours (alone). I also added a steering stabilizer which made the RV a dream as well, but I digress. If you're hesitant to buy those springs or steering stabilizers, just jump in! You will not regret it
