Well, after reading my 1st post, left out some details.
New 2016 Winnebago 35F, gas. Experience excessive body roll when cornering. Anyone out there that has modified the suspension to drastically improve this roll. Looking for advice.

Just decided to do the CHF front and rear starting with the rear because I plan to have extender plates made for the front. The rear does not change the included angle between the connecting link and the sway bar, at least not much. The front will change this angle a lot unless you extend the links in some way. Either cut the links and weld in an extension or use plates to do the same thing. You will learn all about this by reading the link posted by RDG above. The extender plates start getting discussed on page 270.
When I got under the MH yesterday to do the rear I found the clamp that holds the SB to the rear axle was broken and hanging. Have appointment tomorrow to have it repaired under warranty. Looks like it has been broken for a while, I will have to get under there more often. It is a Thor ACE 2015 on a Ford F-53 with 10,000 miles. Jim.

or you could just buy extended links for the front

I did the full array of mods, shocks, big front and rear sway bars, sumo springs, trac bars, safety steering, had the steering box tightened. Drives wonderful compared to before, also added a banks power system as well, it's a hot rod gasser. Love my rig!
