FRONT END UPGRADES TO MY 2012 MAJESTIC 27G (E-450 V10)
Here's the old bump stock, and it beside the new 1500 lbs SumoSpring and installed on driver's side:



Sumo's took about 30 minutes to install, 15 minutes a side, cause I only had one jack, have to raise it high enough to get Sumo and it's stud under to screw in. Used jack stands for added safety, wd-40 to loosen up the old rust, deep sockets to get old bump out.
Here's the RoadMaster Steering Control Stabilizer installation:
the old Ford factory stabilizer: (NOTE: all the youtube vids and even e-trailer's, had the driver's side bracket mounted the other way, U-bolt toward the driver, but the RoadMaster instructions/photos had it installed like I did, with the U-bolts towards the passenger's side.)

New stabilizer:


New bracket on passenger side:

Install took about 45 minutes, again used WD-40, sockets and open end wrenches, and a torque wrench.
Drive is much stiffer, way less side to side steering, and quicker return to straight after a turn.
The new RoadMaster front stabilizer bar is coming by Monday, update ya after I get it installed.
