For your 2016 Forest River FR3 Motorhome, the Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-146 is the best fit for your 18K motorhome. The # RM-1139-149 is the correct fit for vehicles between 22K and 26K. The Rear Anti-Sway is the first step I recommend to give you a better ride and reduce sway.
The Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar for Motorhomes # RM-1139-148 is the correct fit and will further assist with the effects of crosswinds, passing motorists and shifting cargo. The front anti-sway is the second step I recommend for a smoother ride.
You do not need to get the steering stabilizer if cost is an issue, but I do recommend it for a better driving experience. The Anti-Sway bars will give the frame the stability to better handle body roll and crosswinds, but the steering stabilizer will help diminish the effects of rut tracking, uneven lanes, and even a tire blowout. I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster and the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RBK22-RSSA will work on all the GVWR including your 18K GVWR. This is the final component I recommend as it will reduce driver fatigue and give you a better driving experience. There is nothing more you need to enhance your driving and ride experience in your 2016 Forest River FR3 Motorhome.
