Sway Bar and Steering Stabilizer Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-53 to Improve Ride Quality
Question:
Looking to improve both driving and ride of my 2016 A.C.E. 29.3 mounted on F53 chassis, 18,000GVWR. I am thinking Roadmaster rear antisway bar, Sumosprings Maxim front and rear, and Roadmaster Reflex steering stabilizer. Good place to start? Or dump the Sumosprings and do front stabilizer instead with better shocks on all four corners?

Expert Reply:
The biggest ride improvement you'll make on the Ford F-53 is a rear sway bar. Next you'd want to do a front sway bar and then finally a steering stabilizer. Doing all three of those will make a night and day difference. For a rear sway bar you would want the part # RM-1139-149. For a front sway bar you then would want the part # RM-1139-148 and then steering stabilizer # RM-RBK4-RSSA.
If you still want more at this point then Sumosprings would be the way to go. For that you would want # SSR-184-40-1 for the rear and # SSF-170-40-2 for the front.
