2007 Gulfstream Vista Cruiser Freightliner Sprinter Chassis Sway Bar and Suspension Enhancement
Question:
Greetings, We have a 2007 Gulfstream Vista Mini Cruiser Class C on a 2006 Freightliner Mercedes Sprinter chassis, with dual rear wheels. It rocks considerably in any kind of wind or just a slow turn into the driveway. It almost bottoms out on any dip in the road, like it doesnt have enough spring, and that is with empty tanks. Would appreciate your suggestions, which rear sway bar to get, the 1 3/8 or the 1 1/2 inch? Shocks? Some kind of overload spring? Thank you,

Expert Reply:
For your 2006 Freightliner Sprinter Chassis I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Item # RM-1209-132 which will minimize side-to-side movement to improve overall stability of your vehicle and diminish effects of crosswinds, passing motorists and shifting cargo.
I also recommend adding Sumo Springs Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # SSR-329-47 to help with the stability in the rear of your vehicle and help prevent you from bottoming out.
I've attached some videos that offer additional information for you as well
