Is There Drilling Required to Install Roadmaster Sway Bar on 2017 Ford E-450 Class A

Question

Question:

I have watched a couple of different installs on Etrailer and some have used the factory holes and drilled them out for the correct diameter and some have drilled totally new holes for the upper support bars. What is the correct method to do in my scenario? I have a 2017 E450.
