Minimize sway and driver fatigue by improving the stability and driveability of your vehicle. The bar on this sturdy, effective anti-sway system mounts to the rear axle and to the frame to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll.
Features:
Specs:
The Roadmaster anti-sway bar does for side-to-side movement what a good pair of shocks does for up-and-down motion. You will notice a marked improvement in your vehicle's stability as the bar works to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll. The anti-sway bar acts as a link between your vehicle's frame and its rear axle, using the axle as a brace to more effectively balance the shifting weight of your vehicle as you maneuver it. Lubricated bushings allow just enough pivot and rotation to compensate for the pressure placed on one side of your vehicle when it goes into sudden maneuvers, hits crosswinds or encounters shifting weights.
Superior Construction
The Roadmaster anti-sway bar is made of 4140 chromoly, a chromium and molybdenum steel alloy. This type of steel is considerably harder and stronger than the standard 1020 steel that is typically used in anti-sway applications. In addition, the larger diameter of the bar increases its torsional roll stiffness. The result is a bar that is not only stronger than the competition, but also nearly 30 percent better at resisting sway. The polyurethane bushings and grommets used at the attachment points are durable yet flexible, ensuring that the system is neither so rigid nor so malleable that it becomes ineffective.

Outstanding performance upgrade for a heavy truck camper. Night and day difference. Larger than the bigwig for 94-02 rams. Handles my arctic fox 990 much better now. Complimented the recent 19.5 upgrade great!
2001 Dodge Ram 2500. All good except one frame bracket hole was 7/16th's instead of 1/2", the manufacture date on the two mounts was 1 year apart so evidently they changed to 1/2", VERY inconvenient when you live 20 mi. out of town and your truck is dismantled! Parts seem well built. Take it easy on the grease, by the time I was done I had it from one end to the other. 4 hour job alone in the driveway.
UPS screwed up the address change request so the bars were returned and we were charged a restocking fee of $[XX]. UPS took no responsibility for their mistake-- etrailer refunded the fee and sent my parts. 2 hours of fighting with UPS was resolved in 5 minutes by etrailer. Thanks
The bar fit nicely. The brake proportioning valve bracket had to be modified and the hole elongated. The performance with the camper on is night and day difference on my 1998 2500 Ram.
Considering the difference in diameter from stock to this upgrade I could feel the difference while driving. Easy to install with one minor obstacle. The factory left drop link bolt was installed between the fuel tank and the link mount which required us to remove the rear fuel tank bracket and pull the tank out far enough to pull the factory bolt out. The new bolt was installed towards the tank. Installed on ‘99 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4.
First off if your looking for a rear anti-sway bar do not hesitate to purchase a Roadmaster...QUALITY! hardware, paint, grommets, welding, the whole package top shelf! Install went well, test drive went well no more body roll, shipping was quick. Paul B. and etrailer made it easy thanks again for a great product!
Our camper is way easier to drive with the sway bar. The whole truck is so much steadier . Thank you!!
Great customer service sway bar was a Easy replacement for factory sway bar Great quality installation 1999 ram 3500 4x4
I did a fair amount of research before buying this Roadmaster rear sway bar setup. I like the fact that it attaches to the truck using factory axle holes (in my case, the holes below the shock mounts on the rear axle of my '00 Ram 3500 DRW) and that it clears my 4" exhaust piping with ease. We tow a 37' Travel Trailer with this truck and the Roadmaster sway bar has made a noticeable improvement in the ride quality.
The hardware itself deserves 5 stars. The installation instructions deserve 1 star. Very poor instructions: wording less than clear, some components have been changed since they were written, and the pictures are very poor - in fact, the pictures were of a stock installation rather than the system sold. No torque specs given even though a torque wrench was listed as a required tool.
It’s been a few weeks since I did my research and have thrown away my notes.. I chose the Road Master over the Hellwig because the Roadmaster is thicker. I can’t remember the exact dimensions but I do know the Roadmaster is thicker.. I have a truck camper with Air bags installed and I was going down the road swaying side to side like a boat in the ocean.. When I took the stock anti sway bar off and set it besides the Roadmaster Anit Sway Bar, the Roadmaster is twice as thick as the stock.. Haven’t got to go camping yet due to Coronavirus Shelter in place but I can tell just by looking I made the right decision...
The package arrived very promptly and in good condition. Next day I installed the roadmaster sway bar on a dodge truck that I haul a 10.5 camper. I'm pretty much at the truck weight limit. What a difference!. Where often I felt on the verge of going out of control now feels steady and secure. curvy hilly roads were the worst but now much better. On freeway semis passing would sway me to the far side of my lane and then upon passing suck me back. Now again greatly improved. Looking forward to my next trip!!
As usual etrailer comes through with an excellent product and great customer service.
Everything lined up on my 98 Ram 3500 and it made a noticeable difference in sway with a camper in the bed.
excellent product
thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, tighter than a clams ***, significantly better than stock. Can't wait for the front to arrive
this product gets the job done when towing heavy loads
I have a 2017 Ford F350 Super Duty SRW, and we haul a heavy truck camper (Lance 1055.) I have Stable Load Uppers and HD airbags, but wanted to add a sway bar to add that extra layer of control, even though my truck has handled the camper well over the last 2 years and 10,000 miles. My truck did not come with an OEM sway bar installed, so I needed this kit that included the End Links too.
The Roadmaster Rear Sway Bar and End Links sold on etrailer are top quality products. They are robust and well made, with quality hardware to match. The product deserves a 5-star, and even unloaded, my truck handling improved right after installation, with improved cornering and no real impact on ride quality in my opinion. I have not yet loaded up our camper or towed our boat, but I have no doubt this sway bar will substantially reduce sway and will improve control and handling when the camper is loaded.
So why 4 stars and not 5?
1. I researched this product and the installation in detail. I planned on installing it myself and expected to find plenty of detail on etrailer's site, or Roadmaster's site, or the internet. My most pressing question was about where to mount the end links, and the orientation of the sway bar arms since I wouldn't be using the OEM end links. That information was no where to be found on the etrailer site, Roadmaster's site, or in any installation manuals. For a product and supplier that has likely sold lots of these to Ford Super Duty owners, I was surprised to find how little info was out there. The installation video on the etrailer site was helpful, but did not include any information for the end links, as they had a 2015 Super Duty and used the OEM end links already installed. I contacted etrailer and they told me to contact Roadmaster for more info on where to locate the end links with this kit.
2. I contacted Roadmaster. They told me they had no instructions and that despite my truck already having the cut-outs for the OEM bracket that attaches the OEM end links to the frame, that none of those holes may work for me. So they suggested I connect the sway bar brackets to the axle first and then see where the arms would line up with the end links. The tech also suggested that it wasn't critical that the end links were perpendicular
to the frame, but that I should try install the end links to allow the arm of the sway bar to hand as close to parallel as possible. No bueno. When I installed this the 14" end links (center hole to center hole) didn't allow for the arms to hang parallel to the frame. And I don't think it matters as the orientation of my sway bar and the arms looks about like every video or picture I could find on the internet of this year/model truck and this sway bar kit. It seems to function fine.
3. Installing it was a bear, especially the way they instructed me to. And I had to make some modifications to fit my truck, as the sway bar arms were rubbing up against my airbag mounting brackets. I got it installed, but the thin instructions turned what should have been a 60 minute job into 2 1/2 hours. A bit frustrating.
All in all, this will do the job intended and will provide me with peace of mind next time we load our camper. I am a bit frustrated that there were zero installation instructions specific to my year/make/model of truck given it did not have an OEM sway bar and the end links had to be installed with a bit of guesswork. You will also note in my pictures that I had to mount the end links to the sway bar arms differently on each side to make the bar fit around my air bag mounts.
This product arrived on time, and is as described in company literature. I have installed the sway bars and the sumo springs on my 2019 Ford E3 26 foot Thor motorhome. Installation is fairly straightforward. Having said that, I am a retired farmer and I am quite familiar with this type of work. Having the proper tools makes the job go much quicker and easier. Installation of the front sway bar took a little under an hour. The rear sway bar is a bit more complicated to install, but he can be easily accomplished by someone of average mechanical skills, equipped with the proper tools. I strongly recommend removing the rear wheels to facilitate installation of the springs and the sway bar. I have not driven my motorhome yet, but will be taking an extended trip in March. I am looking forward to an improved ride.
Fairly easy install. Drilling the hole in the frame was decent started with a 17/64 pilot hole then the 17/32 final hole. Take your time and let the drill do the work.
Do be aware of the hole placement on the drivers side as there are brake lines and wiring there.
OH My! If you are thinking about getting one for your P32 wide body. Please don’t hesitate. It REALLY Works. Take the white knuckle effect out of driving. EASY installation! Easy Ordering from etrailer. Roger helped me get through the buying process and shipped to my house in 2 days! Thank You!!
This sway bar is the real deal. Easy to follow instructions but I had it installed because I'm lazy. It took one hour labor
Replaced the anti-sway bar on our 2019 F350. No special tools or jacks needed for the installation. Now our Lance 850 truck camper doesn’t sway nearly as much as before. Big improvement. Very pleased!
Major driving experience I upgrades my 2020 Thor Motor Coach KW-29 with front & rear sway bar, front steering stabilizer shock, All 4 front/rear Koni shocks, & Rear End stabilizer to chassis all together best investment on my RV improvement handling, body sway when 18 wheeler passing u up minimizing body sway from minor to none at all, reduce fatigue while driving course correcting steering reducing stress. Each component was felt the improvement but all together it’s been major improvement & experience
