Sway Bar Recommendation for 1997 Ford F-53 Chassis National Dolphin
Question:
I am curious about air bags or helper springs or whatever you suggest. I own a 33 foot 1998 National RV Dolphin. This vehicle is on a 1997 ford f53 chassis and weighs about 18000 wet. I am curious about the best product to reduce body roll. The vehicle drives nicely but you always have to be ready for body roll. For instance when you pass a semi and the wind hits you. The tires are new and properly inflated and I installed new shocks and all bushings in both sway bars but the body roll still is problematic. Any advice will be greatly appreciated Thank you

The Ford F-53 chassis is notorious for having some body roll and sway when stock. We have found that the best product to reduce that is a rear sway bar. For your RV you would want the part # RM-1139-143 which is a confirmed fit. This will make the biggest difference.
