We can absolutely help you get a better ride on your 2017 Forest River Forester.
The best way to enhance the ride of your Forester with a V10, which was built on a Ford E-450 chassis is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because they are a vast improvement over the OEM sway bars and their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for maximum efficiency in terms of better overall handling.
After that you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar; the combination of these two parts will dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your motorhome, allowing you to enjoy your time on the road instead of exhaustively attempting to keep your rig centered at all times.
For a Class C 2017 Forest River Forester with a V10 built on a Ford E-450 chassis the following parts are the correct fit (which I confirmed with the manufacturer):
- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-147
- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-176
I have added links to video installs of these parts on a Ford E-Series chassis for you to check out as well.
