WOW What a difference!

I did a rear track bar from Henderson, and the CHF on both ends. I really liked the reduction in side motion from the CHF, and the track bar killed off almost all of the remaining push from side winds etc.

After driving it for a while, the lack of suspension flex when on uneven surfaces was a bit of a concern. IMO the CHF will put more stress on the house when your front and rear axles are high at opposing corners. And I still felt like the steering could be a little more planted. I had the alignment checked and it was dead on.

Did a little research on chassis tuning and decided to put the front anti-roll bar back to the more relaxed original setting. For me this is the best solution yet for this rig. Rear anti-roll in close hole, front in far hole, plus track bars (came with a front from the factory). Now the front end is solid and hardly any steering correction is needed. You can drive it with two fingers.

If you do a search online, or even a search of this forum, you will find details and pictures of some of the trac bars that owners have made. There is not a lot to the trac bar and it can be fabricated if you have a welder and access to a drill press and some steel. Most homemade units use and adjustable tractor three point hitch top link.
Trac bars work and if you buy or make one, you may be surprised at the difference it makes on the highway.

Congrats and drive safe!

Dennis that true, but it does not get the air suspension, leveling or some of the other advantages, but is does cost less. Some of us just have to be satisfied with our Well Fare MHs. lol.

This is starting to sound like something I may just try as well..

I procrastinated about buying a track bar for a while because they are $500.00. I wanted to make sure it was going to solve my issues with fighting the steering constantly just to keep it in my lane, especially when being passed by a large truck or on a windy day. It was money very well spent. I still can’t believe how nice it drives now. I bought mine from this place --> ultrarvproducts.com. It comes with everything you need to install it and no I didn't have to drill any holes. I called them and talked to them about the problems I was having and they confirmed that this was what I needed, and it was. I know Blue OX makes one and also Henderson but this place had the best price..
You can PM me if you have any other questions.

I am like the OP. The track bar I installed was the best thing I did to my MH. The track bar actually connects the frame/body with the rear axle. Mine was a Henderson trac bar. I installed it by myself in less than 2 hours. No drilling was required. It would be helpful to have another person to help hold the trac bar in place while getting the pieces lined up and the bolts installed. I say go for it; I don't think you will be disappointed.

I had a 31' safari and put on steer safe, etc. and still had trouble w/wind and semi's. Glad I sold it and bought our Dutch Star DP! Solved those problems.

CHF thanks mr miknley

It was also a LOT CHEAPER than buying a Diesel too...!!!.....:B:B....Dennis
