Update to my Majestic 27G.
Installed the RoadMaster Front anti-sway bar yesterday, I'd say a medium plus scale for DIY, because you need the right tools (sockets, deep sockets, extensions, breaker bar, torque wrentch, etc. Air tools would have been a pleasure) I did it myself in just under 3 hours, a second pair of hands would have helped lifting up to bolt in, I finally put my jack under it to lift it. The other delay was two of the saddle bracket bolts were super tight, had to use the breaker bar to remove them.
But well worth the sweat equity, time and $$, the test drive was super firm/stiff drive, even driving off the driveway curb wasn't the usual tossing everything in the coach around. Took it on the freeway for a bit, but no semi's on the road to test the blow by.
I learned that I really needed it with a quick test I discovered... grab your sway bar and try and move left to right, my old one moved 2-3" of play. The new bar and new urethane bushings didn't move a bit.
Here's pics: the old (skinny) bar and new (beefy) bar side by side,

And the left and right install.


Just ordered the Hellwig rear sway bar, I decided on it cause it requires NO DRILLING in your frame, compared to the RoadMaster unit. I'm thinking because it's size/weight and tighter space under the rear, I'm going to see if my neighbor has time (and a FACE MASK) to help me install. Stay tuned...
