Roadmaster Front Anti Sway Bar installed

Crew helicopters in The Army and flew aircraft upside down and vertical but that wind does wired things over that pass.

Need to hook up and go fishing with you some time.

I know how the OP felt upon having the new sway bar installed....

I purchased my new cabover (the Fleetwood Angler) in March 2008 as the old rotted out 1981 camper shell that came with my rig finally took its last beating after coming back from my Arctic Circle trip in August 2006.

Thanks to all on RV.Net when doing extensive research (before officially becoming a member) on what to upgrade and how to approach it all, I covered all the bases and not messed around as I invested in my rig for the long term.

The camper shell was $4000, the suspension upgrades with all new rebuilt twin I beam front end components (exception of the king pins) including the recon steering gear, custom rear springs, Rancho 9000's, front and rear and airbags, and front and rear sway bars was $3900 total including freight charges... as $800 of the total cost there was labor I didn't do myself as I let the reputable front end shop do the work right - that was beyond my capability.

I ordered the beefiest sway bars that I could find for my truck, which were the 1.125 inch Hellwigs, and installed myself and let me note that when I make any left or right turn in my maxxed out gross weight truck, it feels like I am not hauling heavy weight around as the truck does not lean or sway around it is sooooooo nice !

The following month after the suspension upgrades were completed, I took my first trip with the new camper shell on a 5060 mile round trip to the Northwest Territories as the camper rig handled superb from Fairbanks to Yellowknife and back in August 2008.

The last 6 consecutive times on yearly permitted vacation upon taking my camper out on extensive road trips, I am still quite happy with these beefier sway bars as my rig feels like superior handling all the way.

Let us know how it does going across Pacheco pass when the winds are 50mph plus!

Only time I got a little motion sick in anything was coming home from the Rubicon with the F250 Northern Lite and my 05 rubicon flat towing behind me across there.

I'm in San Juan Bautista until tomorrow so its either 101 to 680 to 84 or 152 to 5 to 580 tomorrow evening

well I drove 80 miles in cross winds guting over 30mph Friday with the truck and TC fully loaded. Very nice improvement in handling. All my steering issues are gone. the final sway issues should be gone when the rear sway bar gets upgraded.

For me, the rear made a much bigger improvement. That's your TC's COG, so when you're loaded, most of the sway is back there.

Double post

Buzzcut1 I'm sure you will be very happy when you get the rear bar on also. I did the rear first and added the front about 1000 miles later, they were both well worth it as were the 19.5's.

I find it strange that Roadmaster dosen't make a front for a 3rd gen Ram like billyray50's.

Buzz I have had my roadmasters front&rear on my
Ford F250 for about 4 yrs now it was the best
$$$ spend it only took an hour to install both :)

Great info buzzcut1, I too wish the 2006 Dodges had an option from helwig or road master. I did have replaced the stock original track bar bushings and also new moog end sway links and bushings a couple of weeks ago before taking delivery of new 19.5 vision wheels and tires. Noticed a big difference in steering also. Auto tech I know brought me back in shop and showed me both end way links were bent. Might replace track bar with a Thuren down the road if needed.
