We offer a range of front- and rear-axle kits to enhance the performance of an F-53-based RV. The key is to confirm the model year of your F-53 chassis. It is very likely to be a 2015 chassis but you can easily confirm this with Jayco by providing them with your VIN.

For a 2015 F-53-based Jayco 29UR, which has a GVR of 18K-lbs, you'll use the kit # RM-RBK9-RSSA that you referenced. This kit installs in about an hour without drilling and includes all required parts for installation. The Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer features a tempered spring that helps to maintain control by keeping a firm connection between the steering mechanism and the chassis.

If you want a further front-end upgrade you might consider replacing the factory sway bar with an upgraded aftermarket unit like the Roadmaster # RM-1139-140 which features a 1-3/4-inch cadmium-plated 4140 chromoly steel tube that is nearly 30 percent better at resisting sway than the OEM bar.

For a rear anti-sway bar you can use the linked page to review the available options, some of which are specific to a certain rear axle. You can refer to the linked article on RV suspensions for more information to help guide your selection.
