Question:

I am about to order the steering stab, wondered why you said rear stabilizer was a big help

Your 2018 Thor 28Z is built on a 2017 Ford E-450 cutaway chassis. So for a rear sway bar you'd want the # RM-1139-147 which will make the biggest ride improvement. And then part # RM-1139-176 for the front bar.

When the RV chassis manufacturers (like Ford in your case) design the chassis for the RV it's the rear of the chassis that they have the hardest time planning for. Reason being, at the front of an RV is pretty standard as it typically just the standard front of the vehicle. At the rear there are a lot of variables based on how the the RV manufacturer designs the motorhome to fit the chassis. So this means they have to take more of a "one size fits all" sway bar for the rear of the motorhome from the chassis manufacturer which leaves a lot of improvement from aftermarket options. That means that the biggest ride improvement you'll notice will be with an upgraded rear bar.
