Spring options for a Fleetwood

Ok so I looooove cushy feel of floating down the road, but man, my wagon feels like a porsche in the corners compared to the FW......

I do have a set of 9C1 springs about, but somewhere in my distant past I heard of folks putting SS springs in too.

Would the SS springs drop the ride height? If so, assuming I'd need different shocks too. Any other considerations?

I see a set of used ones in the FS section and am considering.....

Sprocket..I put brand new 9C1 rear springs in there. First thing I would do is ditch the rear air shocks, put on a set of Monroe Severe Service (or Bilstein) shocks and see what you think. I put new front shocks in, but they are the cush cush ones. Lol

A lot of that wallow is from those rear air shocks. I already put a set of SS front and rear swaybars on it too. It should corner well with a better shock setup.
