How Do I Minimize Body Roll On 2020 Ram 3500 While Towing 5th Wheel

Question:

I have a 2020 ram crew cab 4x4 SRW 64inch bed , towing my RV I experience sway over rough and curvy roads which makes driving a little nerve racking especially under windy conditions. Will the Timbrens help this? Side to side sway while towing 14000 lb 5th wheel over rough roads and curvy roads Thanks

Yes, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # T94VR will enhance your current suspension reducing the body roll you are currently experiencing. With the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System, each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's or passenger's side of the vehicle. Each spring is activated when it is needed, so body roll is greatly reduced. This is a great option for the price.

I suggest you consider the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM73FR. This is a little more in price but is also a great option. This Roadmaster anti-sway bar is made of 4140 chromoly which is considerably harder and stronger than the standard 1020 steel commonly used in OEM installed components. In addition, this has a larger diameter that also increases its torsional roll stiffness along with polyurethane bushings and grommets. The effectiveness of anti-sway bars is the diameter and quality of the steel they are constructed from. Roadmaster claims that for every 1/8" increase in diameter there is roughly a 30% increase in torsional resistance (body roll). Their aftermarket anti-sway bars are generally 3/8" to 3/4" increase over factory. the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM73FR has a diameter of 1-5/8".
