Blue Ox TigerTrak Rear Axle Stabilizer Installation - 2017 Ford E Series Cutaway- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Forest River Sunseeker, on the E450 chassis we're going to be taking a look at, and we're also going to show you how to install the Blue Ox TigerTrak. This is a rear axle stabilizer, part number is TT2450. The TigerTrak system is designed to keep our axle squarely under the frame of our RV. It's going to create a connection point from the axle to the frame, so they can't move side to side anymore. This helps to eliminate a lot of common problems you're going to get with RVs, especially most RVs have a real long overhang behind that axle. Once a passing vehicle or a crosswind hits the backside of this RV, it doesn't take a whole lot to get that moving side to side. more

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Installation - 2017 Ford E-Series Cutaway RM-1139-147- Video
Speaker 1: Today in our 2017 Forest River Sunseeker on the Ford E450 chassis, we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Road Master rear anti-sway bar. Part number is RM-1139-147.Now here's our Road Master Sway Bar once we have it installed. Now this sway bar is going to do a much better job then our factory sway bar at preventing that side-to-side body roll. That's something that's typically going to happen if you're in severe crosswinds, passing an 18 wheeler, uneven road surfaces can cause the RV to lean a little bit side-to-side and ultimately that leads to you having to put more input into the steering to keep it tracking straight down the road.When we put on an upgrade this substantial you're going to have a noticeable difference in the way your RV handles so as you're cornering through mountain roads through stuff like that, you're RV will stay a lot more level, but also just in your normal straight highway style driving, a lot less driver input going in there. You're going to reduce the driver fatigue and you won't have to fight you steering wheel so much to keep going in a straight line.Now here's a good look at the difference you're going to have between the Road Master Sway Bar and your factor sway bar. The diameter of the factory sway bar is about an inch and an eighth. more
