Roadmaster Front Anti Sway Bar installed

Had it done at a shop because I messed up my elbow in a fall and the bone and tissue still needs a few more weeks of healing. Way more beefy that the stock front bar that came with the Camper package. Looks cool too. Going for the first test ride in about a half hour as I reload the TC and go fuel up with Diesel. The rear bar should ship to me in two weeks. Front bar part #/RM-1139-165





  • Welcome to the club. I've already done both, you're gonna love 'em.
  • Great feedback BuzzCut- looking forward to the follow-up report. Wishing Roadmaster or Hellwig had options for my '95!
  • Ok so two drives down unloaded and loaded.

    First off I also had the front end aligned. It was a mess thanks to Livermore Ford ( do not go there) each wheel was off spec in every possible measurement by over 1*

    That said: I had a clunking in the front end, the sway bar bushings were shot. That's gone. The poor steering response loaded and unloaded is gone.

    Unloaded if felt like I was driving a new truck, no lean no feeling of front end dive on a hard corner. butter smooth response in a emergency braking test.

    Loaded: no front end roll on corners going slow and turning hard or sweepers at speed. Same went for speed bumps at an angle one rock then a small jiggle then done. I was thinking that my Ranchos might have been worn out, nope it was the sway bar.

    I still have a have more sway than I would like but I believe that the same condition exists in the rear OEM bars as did the front

    I cannot wait for the rear Roadmaster sway bar to ship July 1 and my Rickson wheels to arrive.

    Yes I have little kid in the candy story syndrome
