Thank you for answering the questions about the parts for my 2017 Mirada select. I purchased and received your recommended parts and had them installed.

The 2017 Coachman Mirada Select 37TB is built on the Ford F53 chassis. To reduce the sway, you are absolutely on the right track with the parts you are requesting. I recommend the following parts:

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Motor Homes # RM-1139-149 along with the Extended U-Bolt Kit # RM-590050-00 if the factory bolts are not long enough to accommodate the factory nut, washer, and a new 1/2 inch plate. The extended u-bolts may not be needed if you have enough room on your factory u-bolts.

For the front, I recommend the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar for Motor Homes # RM-1139-148, and for steering assistance, I recommend the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM42RR.

There is not an improved braking kit, however these components will help your vehicle from rolling and will support the load better which will assist with steering and braking performance.

I'm happy to help. The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-187-54-1 are the correct fit for your chassis and GVWR. For the front, your choice of the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2 is also the correct fit for your vehicle. Adding these springs will give you more stability and will further reduce body roll. They are an easy bolt on installation and will help absorb bumps and shocks. There is not an aftermarket track bar we carry for your motorhome. You will have the best system we can offer with the parts listed.
