Sway bar upgrade worth it?

I have a 97 e350 that had no sway bar. Installed a helwig by myself. Made a world of difference when big trucks pass.

We have a Blue ox Tiger Trak bar as well. Best I cam tell, there are 3 or 4 brands of track bars for gas coaches and that they're all one man's design, made at one plant in Pacific Nw, then painted, named, numbered and marketed by those various outlets. So shop for price; you'll be getting the same thing.

Hellwig sway bars are the same steel as Roadmaster, just much less expensive. I think it's because Roadmaster uses different distribution channels.

You can install sway bars with coach on the ground, on stands, or tires on blocks. Same for most of the track bar install, but the adjustment of the length of the bar (one end's threaded) should be done at ride height. No drilling, cutting or welding needed for any of it.

Thanks for the responses. I was planning on putting a track bar on the coach, and figured that if I did decide to do sway bars then when I'm already under there with the track bar it would be a good time to put on the sway bar as well.

I have a smaller lighter class C on E450 and I say yes! I also endorse stronger than stock shock absorbers. I thought the motorhome was much too floppy on the stock sway bars and stock shocks. I did the upgrades incrementally and both made very noticeable improvements. I used the Roadmaster bars front and rear.

YES I did, and

Absolutely YES

You are correct on the diameters or OE sway bars, and of the Hellwig upgrade bars. They come with very solid poly bushings for the end links. This makes for even more roll resistance and you will feel how much more solidly your coach sits on the campsite. Few upgrades help both moving and parked.

Our E450 had those same small sizes. Yours uses same upgrade sizes but with different attachments. Your new bar will attach to the pads with surface rust on the 2012 axle in this pic, just click on it. I had already bought Hellwig bars for our E450 when it still had the 2002 axle, so you can see the U-bolts Hellwig used for that axle. Yours will look very OEM, just bigger.

This reply may draw some very technical-sounding rebuttals, but I can tell you there is NOT a downside to stiffening an RV this way. Daytona, Indy, Sebring, sure. Not on an RV. Works just fine. You'll like it.
