Recommended Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 2018 Fleetwood Bounder on F-53 Chassis

Question:

I have a Ford 2017 Chassis F53 on a 2018 Fleetwood Bounder model 35K. It has a 228inch wheelbase and a GVWR of 22,000lb. I am assuming that I should order the Roadmaster Rear anti sway bar RM-1139-149 . And this is a no drill install. **Ill order longer U bolts if I find that I need them. Am I correct????

The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-149 referenced in your question is exactly what you need for your Ford F-53 chassis that features the V10 engine and 22,000 pound GVWR. This will do a great job of minimizing sway and driver fatigue by improving the stability and driveability of your RV. It will simply mount to the rear axle and to the frame to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll. No drilling will be required during installation.

As you mentioned, you may need to add the # RM-590050-00 U-Bolt Replacement Kit if you find there is not enough factory u-bolt available to accommodate the factory nut, washer, and 1/2 inch plate.

I have attached an installation video on the 2016 Fleetwood Bounder that you can use for reference.
