Sway Bar Recommendation for 2018 Gulfstream BT Cruiser 5316
Question:
We have a 2018 Gulfstream BT Cruiser model # 5316. It has 2017 E450 V10. Would upgraded sway bars in front and back and a steering stabilizer help? The RV is a bear to drive as we get blown all over the road in high winds and when a tractor trailer goes by. What brands and models # would help?? This is our 1st RV. Thanks

Sway bars and a steering stabilizer will make a huge difference in overall driveability for your 2018 Gulfstream BT Cruiser model # 5316 built on a 2017 E450 V10 chassis.
The biggest improvement will be a rear sway bar. For that you'd want the part # RM-1139-147 which is a confirmed fit and replaces the factory sway bar. This will minimize side to side movement and body roll plus balance weight transfer. I attached an install video as well.
Next biggest difference will come from a front sway bar. For that you'd want the part # RM-1139-176. This helps with the same things as the rear bar but makes the improvements that much more noticeable.
With all three of these things you will see a huge difference and might even enjoy driving your RV!
