I only did the front on mine, to eliminate the toe changes and resulting bump steer that occurs as the Twin I-beams go through their range of travel. Worked out exactly as I wanted. An E450 already has a substantial rear sway bar, much thicker than the wimpy OEM front. Also the late model E-Series chassis (08 and up) have heim-jointed front sway bar end links. No rubber.
Did you install it yourself? Heard the bolts can be a problem because of the lack of threads on the frame and end up stripped. Then you have to place a nut on the inside and it's a long process to do that.
J-D, I have a new E450 and have 75lbs front and 80lbs rear. Weighed it loaded and was under GVW, 500 lbs front and 1,000 lbs rear. Bilstein shocks and front stabilizer. Didn't like steering with Roadmaster Reflex. High caster done with alignment.
Did the work myself. No issues with the frame bracket bolts nor the end links. Mine is a 2010 chassis with heim joint end links and not the older bayonet end stuck in a rubber sleeve within each twin-I-beam.
I'll add too on front tire air pressure, my unit is way happier with 60 psi in the front tires than any sort of prior pressures.
