Installation of Frame Brackets of Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar on 2004 Workhorse W-Series Chassis

Question

Question:

I have your Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar and TruTrac Rod Kit Item # RM-1259-106 that I am installing in my 2004 Newmar MountainAire RV. When I position the B424 and B425 brackets and the 3/4inch bolts there is about 1/2inch between the frame and the bottom of the brackets. All the pictures seem to show the bottom of the bracket sitting on the frame. Should I enlarge the hole in the frame to have the brackets sitting lower so that the bottom of the B424 and B425 brackets are fully sitting on the frame?

When installing the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar and TruTrac Rod Kit # RM-1259-106 you will want those brackets sit flush; you can enlarge the hole or drill a new one so that you can get the bracket sitting flush to the rail. My contact over at Roadmaster also recommended using Red Loctite # LT37420 when completing the installation, if you don't already have some.
