    I have a 2017 Sunseeker 3050s. It already has the air ride on the rear suspension system. I'm looking for opinions on adding sway bars and steering stabilizers from Roadmaster. At this point I think the best setup seems to be getting the rear sway bar and steering stabilizer for now and see...

    09-16 Ram 1500 rear sway bar

    If you're towing with a Ram 1500 consider replacing your rear sway bar with the Hellwig. It really tightened up the rear end of the truck. Definitely wanders a lot less while towing. Cheap upgrade at $200 for results you can feel. Comparing the stock versus the Hellwig it was like going from a...

    Sway Control bar issue

    We bought our TT used. It came with a WDH & sway control bars. One of the bars ( the one that appears to be two tone in the pic ) makes the most awful grinding & sometimes loud popping sound when turning. I've backed off on the tightening to the point there is almost no friction/pressure on the...

    Passing trucks causing sway

    I'm looking for a few suggestions from Team FR as to what the best first steps may be to reduce the sway caused by passing trucks and buses. I've got a 2016 3011DS with 2500 miles and a recent alignment that added 2.25 degrees of caster. My rig has a factory sway bar installed (or was that...

    Do I add sway bars to my F-150?

    I’m purchasing a 2016 Ford F-150 this week. It comes with integrated sway control. On my jeep I had the sway bars added to my hitch system. Does this mean that when I use my F-150, I don’t add the sway bars anymore? This is what the brochure says, “Trailer Sway Control – works in conjunction...

    Adding Front Adjustable Swaybar Endlinks

    Earlier this month I was doing the CHF on the front of my 16 FY3 28DS and could not even get close to getting the swaybar endlinks to go to the inside holes of the swaybar so I decided to add Hellwig adjustable swaybar endlinks instead. The driver's side one went on fine but when I went to...

    Swaying and Steering

    If Tiger Trak is for swaying what are sumo springs for. We just came back from a two month trip and I want to correct the swaying and steering issues caused by winds and 18wheelers. I do the work myself but want to purchase the right product for the issues.
