Minimize sway and driver fatigue by improving the stability and driveability of your Ford F-350, 450, and 550 Cab and Chassis. The bar on this sturdy, effective anti-sway system mounts to the rear axle and to the frame to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll.

Benefits of an Anti-Sway System
The Roadmaster anti-sway bar does for side-to-side movement what a good pair of shocks does for up-and-down motion. You will notice a marked improvement in your vehicle's stability as the bar works to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll. The anti-sway bar acts as a link between your vehicle's frame and its rear axle, using the axle as a brace to more effectively balance the shifting weight of your vehicle as you maneuver it. Lubricated bushings allow just enough pivot and rotation to compensate for the pressure placed on one side of your vehicle when it goes into sudden maneuvers, hits crosswinds or encounters shifting weights.
Superior Construction
The Roadmaster anti-sway bar is made of black powder-coated 4140 chromoly, a chromium and molybdenum steel alloy. This type of steel is considerably harder and stronger than the standard 1020 steel that is typically used in anti-sway applications. In addition, the larger diameter of the bar increases its torsional roll stiffness. The result is a bar that is not only stronger than the competition, but also nearly 30 percent better at resisting sway. The polyurethane bushings and grommets used at the attachment points are durable yet flexible, ensuring that the system is neither so rigid nor so malleable that it becomes ineffective.

Everything pretty much fit like it should. Seemed to reduce the heavy rocking when You make sudden turns or coming out of a parking lot where the road is at a different level.
by: Lee 01/30/2024
What a serious improvement on my motorhome made it so stable. It’s actually unbelievable how nice it drives now easy to install fit perfect. Just amazes me every time I drive it how nice it is to drive. I don’t feel like I’m gonna roll over anymore.

It works great. I can definitely tell a difference.
by: Robert05/26/2023
I love both of the Roadmaster anti-sway bars I had installed right before a trip to Iowa. I purchased bushing kits for front and rear but, I didn't know the front sway bar came with new bushings. So I have an extra front sway bar bushing kit. The biggest difference I noticed right away was the handling on the highway. The people I talked to at etrailer were very helpful and always are when I call. Thanks

Wow, This sway bar is big, heavy, beefy and strong. I saw all the great reviews but was still surprised when I got it. Installation was straight forward but I did have to have a mechanic shop jack the RV up and take the huge bolts of the U-bolts because my impact wrench was not strong enough. I've only put a few mines on it since I installed it but I have already noticed a difference.

Roadmaster Rear Anti-sway Bar and Roadmaster Reflex Steering stabilizer made a 1000% difference on my driving experience. No more being pushed around by the big rigs or the wind. I recommend these upgrades to any motor home.

Excellent product. Well made. Great instructions. Easy install with proper tools.
Made an incredible improvement in the handling of our 35 ft MOTORCOACH with F53 chassis.
All necessary hardware was included. Delivery and shipping by etrailer was spot on.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to greatly decrease sway in a coach.

Installed on a Tiffin Allegro 31SA by Whited Truck and RV Center in Auburn, Maine. The Roadmaster anti-sway bar and associated parts are rugged and of high quality. Installation time was about 3 hours; drilling the frame to secure brackets took the longest time. This anti-sway bar improved handing and reduced sway, especially on rough secondary roads.

I just received the product, which weighs in at "Over 70 pounds" according to the UPS tape attached, and will be returning it unopened once I receive the Return Authorization slip. Please note that this action had to be taken because of "Operator Headspace"on MY PART !!! I failed to properly read the requirements and limitations in their advertisement. The 1139-143 is for a motorhome with the Ford F-53 for an up to a max of 34 foot motorhomes. Mine is a 37 foot and need the one for 18,000 to 24,000 lb. My mistake and the correct one is on the way thanks to the help from the wonderful service personnel at etrailer.com. Great service for less than smart people like me... Thank you so much etrailer.com!!!

Sway bars and steering dampener are installed and the sway has been reduced and dies out much quicker. I am 80 and was able to install everything myself but it is hard work.

All the products I have ordered arrived promptly and in secure packaging. The pricing was great and with the free shipping I doubt you will find it for less anywhere on the net. I definitely will do business with the guys again. I will be sending photos of completed project when I am finished installing.
Thanks

- Blue Ox Tiger Trak Trac Bars for 2001 National Dolphin MotorhomeFor the front Tiger Trak track bar, use # TT2403 for the V10 engine model and # TT2404 for the V8 model. Blue Ox doesn't list a rear trac bar fit for your 2001 F53 chassis, so I'd recommend using a Roadmaster anti-sway bar, part # RM-1139-143 for coaches less than 34 feet long or # 1139-144 for coaches 34 feet or longer. Both a track bar and an anti-sway bar will keep the rear axle rigidly in place so it's perpendicular to the frame.
view full answer... - Rear Sway Bar Fit for 2004 Winnebago Sightseer Built on Ford F-53 ChassisThe correct fit for a rear anti-sway bar for your 2004 Winnebago Sightseer built on a Ford F-53 chassis is going to depend on its length, because based on my research there are a number of models with different total lengths. Models 27C, 30B and 33L are less than 34 feet long, and the correct sway bar for that length is the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143. Model 35N is longer than 34 feet, so the correct sway bar is the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # 1139-144. You will simply...

It is possible that your factory U-bolts will not be long enough, if they are not you will need the # RM-590050-10 if you have round U-bolts or # RM-590050-00 if you have square U-bolts.

If they are not, then Roadmaster recommends using the 7/8 inch diameter u-bolts that are longer (most likely the larger diameter due to length needed to ensure strength). I've attached a couple photos from the installation instructions to assist with the size and torque. When torque specs are so large either a large special torque wrench is required or installers are...

- Improving the Ride Quality of an RV Built on a 2005 Workhorse W22 ChassisYes! Probably the single best addition you can make to provide better handling in your RV would be to install a rear anti-sway bar. Helper springs treat the symptom but not the cause like an anti-sway bar would. There are 2 rear sway bar options for your 2005 Workhorse W22: # RM-1259-108 and # RM-1259-109 (for applications 33 feet or longer). Additional products for even more stability include axle stabilizers: # RM-TRACW-22 or # TT2304 for the front end. And adding a steering stabilizer,...

If the RV is getting pushed around by wind then an anti-sway bar would be the way to go. If you want the driving experience to be as rock solid as possible then a front and rear anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer is the way to go! For the 1997 Ford F-53 chassis you can add a steering stabilizer but only if it has the V8 motor. It is # RM-RBK4-RSSA. You can...

view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Sway Bar For 2004 Fleetwood Southwind MotorhomeBased on my research your 2004 Fleetwood Southwind Motorhome was either built on the Ford Chassis, or the Workhorse Chassis. If your Southwind was built on the Ford Chassis I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143, and Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148. If your Southwind was built on the Workhorse Chassis I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1259-108, and Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1259-105.

This will do a really good job getting rid of the sway and keeping the motorhome on the road without requiring over corrections. To help with the bumps and also improve handling the SumoSprings part # SSF-171-40-2 would be what you'd want for the front and then # SSR-187-54-1 for the rear.

They do not have an option for models built on the F-550 chassis. But Roadmaster does have options. If the RV has a square tube Dana 120 axle then you can use # RM-1139-161. If it is a different axle then there are no other options.

Please note that you may also need the long U-Bolt kit as well. For 15-7/8" Square Bolts you need part # RM-590050-00 and then for 20-1/4" Round Bolts you need part # RM-590050-10.
