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.

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.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!
This is one of the best upgrades I have made to my 2016 F350 dually. The vehicle handles noticeable better while towing as well as without a load. I bought this stabilizer to help with body roll when cornering while towing my 19,000 lb 5th wheel. But I was surprised how well handling improved with an empty truck while driving down winding country roads. My truck now corners better than my wife’s Ford Escape (not exaggerating this). I state this a year after making this upgrade. If and when I buy a new truck, this will be one of the first upgrades I will make.
I absolutely love that you personalized every step of my order with the person that was doing that step. I will do business etrailer in the future. Thank you for bringing this personalisation back. The item arrived packaged very well. I have not had the time to put it on yet. I will update how it works at a later date.
Best and easiest installation ever, great product and will be buying more product, thank you
Great Product! A must have when hauling a slide in truck camper.
Have driven many miles with factory installed Sway bar - was garbage. Installed Roadmaster Rear sway bar improving our ride 100% as we felt more secure rounding corners traveling thousands of miles with less fatigue! Too Alaska & back!
Excellent product which greatly improved control while loaded with the pickup camper. The challenge here was the shipping. An awkward part to ship which arrived with a destroyed box and missing the inner box of mounting hardware. Called etrailer and was told they would take care of it; then silence. I sent emails and left voice mails without a response until I called back on the main line and spoke to a different rep who let me know it was due to ship out that day. Excellent people who ultimately took care of me even though not their fault though I would recommend more communication to let me know they were taking care of the issue rather than let me guess for two weeks. Overall, etrailer has been excellent to work with and this was my third project with them. I will buy from them again. JB
Damn, that was quick delivering the parts. One box was ripped open as someone else mention but I'm grateful the hardware box didn't fall out. It's a tough product to deliver, guessing 60 pounds for the sway bar
Installed this on my 2015 Ford F350 to help with truck camper sway. Super easy install for a Ford F350 if you already have the pencil thin stock sway bar. The Roadmaster model 1139-173 is the one you need since you can reuse your end links. The bar was packaged well. I was looking at the Hellwig Big wig first since it is cheaper and comes with new links. But it is extremely difficult to remove the existing link above the fuel tank. Also the Hellwig is a thinner bar. It came packaged very well and arrived only a few days after I purchased it on Etrailer. Overall very happy with the results. The truck corners well under load and sway is all but gone when fully loaded with the camper.
It was a straight forward installation. I went with Roadmaster over Hellwig because the stock end links could be used. When you put this bar next to the stock bar, the Roadmaster is enormous in comparison. Looking forward to my first trip towing the 5th wheel.
Looks great and installs easily.
Night and day difference with it instal led.
Sway bar works great. Bi notice once our 32 ft camper was behind it. Much better handling.
Stock is a weeny little thing compared to this monster. Easy to replace, makes a huge difference in the turns!
Great product! It was shipped fast and was easy yo install!!
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

Still amazed at how well this anti sway bar improves the handling of my 2016 F350 DRW both while towing and unladen.
