Roadmaster Rear Anti Sway Bar on 2017-2019 SuperDuty

OK, just got back from our first real road trip with the new truck and camper. Didn't take long for me to realize I had a lot more sway with this truck/camper (2018 F350, DRW, tembrens, oem shocks, longer/heavier camper with CG farther back) than our last one (2006 F350 DRW, timbrens, rancho 9000s, shorter/lighter camper).

Looks like I will be ordering a bigger rear ant-sway bar; Roadmaster (1139-193). Anyone installed this sway bar on a 2017-2019 F350? If so, how much sway reduction did you get?

Thanks, bradw

  • I put the 173 on my 2017 SRW, along with upper Stableloads. I liked it so much, I put a 180 on the front. Yes, it makes a difference.
    I put Timbrens on my last truck, and found they increased sway due to the inboard mounting location. I corrected it with a Roadmaster also.
  • So from light camper on dually you "upgraded" to heavier camper on SRW?
    My 2017 F350 dually makes no sway. At least not to degree I would notice, even when my load scaled at 6500 lb.
    So I wonder if getting dually sway bar on SRW is doable?
  • Tork lift has a product called stableloafds, upper or lower versions. you might look into them. They engaged your over load spring when loaded. My rig never engaged the over load springs when camper was on. Now the stable loads engaged the over loads. I have airbags also and I air them up till the stable load just tuoch the spring. For me these system nearly eliminated all sway.
  • My truck came with the factory rear sway bar, but it ain't doing the job. The RM sway bar has a larger diameter.
  • I agree with Dome. Too much sway on my 2003 Chev 2500, installed Timbrens and Roadmaster anti-sway bar ... was a huge difference.

    The 2015 Chev 2500HD, I've not installed. Keep planning on it but procrastination is winning so far. It needs them tho... Lance runs about 3500 lbs wet and loaded. Of course, I only notice it when on the road, and can't do it. It doesn't need it when home and parked :)
  • Put a bar on my rig. {2003 Dodge Ram ton} Not Ford but if results are what you want then the sway bar is your friend no matter what you drive.
