Features to know about

Better Control Under Load: 1-1/4" Rear Bar Reduces Roll

Heavy loads or top-heavy setups can make a rig feel loose, especially through turns or when a gust hits. The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar ties the rear axle to the frame using the weight of the axle itself to brace the chassis. Its 1-1/4"-diameter 4140 chromoly steel bar resists twisting, cutting down body roll and side-to-side sway. The result is a level ride and more predictable handling through corners, curves, and quick maneuvers.

Confidence in Crosswinds: Balanced Weight Transfer for Steady Tracking

Nothing wears you out faster than constant steering correction when a semi passes or a crosswind hits. This bar balances weight transfer as the vehicle shifts, keeping the rear planted and the steering steady. By minimizing side-to-side motion, it helps the vehicle track straighter and reduces the effort needed to hold your line. Highway driving feels calmer and driving fatigue drops off fast.

Built for Strength: 4140 Chromoly Steel and Polyurethane Bushings

The Roadmaster bar isn’t basic mild steel—it’s made from thick 4140 chromoly, a chromium-molybdenum alloy known for high torsional strength. That extra stiffness means roughly 30 percent better resistance to sway than a standard 1020 steel bar. At the pivot points, polyurethane bushings replace soft rubber, resisting oil, gasoline, and ozone. They keep their shape and support longer so the system stays tight and consistent over time.

Simple Bolt-On Setup: No Drilling and Heavy-Gauge Hardware

Installation is straightforward thanks to the included heavy-gauge mounting hardware and clear instructions. The bar bolts to the rear axle and chassis without drilling, and bushing lubricant is included for smooth operation. The design also works alongside popular suspension add-ons like airbag systems, letting you dial in stability without giving up your existing upgrades.

Great product



by:

does very well work but they lacked some parts in the box and there were parts that were unrelated

Silverado 2014 2500HD long box



by:

Online said exact for GMC 3500. It is actually for a GMC 1500, 2500. sent it back.



by:

Box was open. Parts everywhere and it looked like someone drove over the box.The swaybar does work with air bags and handling is a big improvement loaded or not.



by:

This ant-sway bar has changed the ride and the handling of the truck I wish I had got one sooner..



by:

Well the sway bar was fine,had to offset just a little 1/4”due to the after market rearend cover.also had to turn axle clamps downwards a little.



by:

Second rear sway bar I've bought for Cevy trucks. Looks like it'll be perfect. Got it installed, because of overhead (arctic fox) camper. Had one before with our old '09 truck, and this is the same application, only newer 3/4 ton truck. Helps with camper sway allot.



by:

Very pleased with both the quick service etrailer provided, and also the sway bar. It was at my door in 48 hours! The rear sway went on a GMC 3500HD dually which carries a very heavy truck camper, and it pretty much eliminated sway out of the system. Highly recommend!



by:

The Roadmaster was easy to put on and works good, At this time I have a large Truck Camper (Lance 1172) on my GMC 3500HD DRW CC right now, but in spring I will be towing our a 43ft Voltage Toy Hauler.



by:

This gets a strong DO NOT BUY from me. The instructions on this were so bad I had to give a decent product this poor of a rating. The instructions were copied off sheets with pictures so poor they were impossible to use. The wording was vague and did not cover some important items, leaving you to figure stuff out. Making this worse was the lack of product support from roadmaster (like a video or something). Worse yet was the fact that they placed their roadmaster label upside down on the sway bar, making things that much more confusing and further wasting my time. I would say just dont bother, there are other brands (like helwig) that have much better customer support. I doubt I will buy anything else from roadmaster.



by:

This sway bar is the real deal. Easy to follow instructions but I had it installed because I'm lazy. It took one hour labor

After one year I can tell you all that this sway bar really helps in windy conditions with my Wolf Creek 890 on the bed. Less lean and easier to counter the gusts of wind you get when passing large trucks.

  • Compatible Sway Bar for a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ a Air Bag Kit
    No, it will not. Sorry Randy I have an alternative for you but the Hellwig Adjustable Rear Anti-Sway Bar item # HE86GR occupies the same real estate on the axle as the brackets for both the Firestone and Air Lift Kit's that fit your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500. Instead, you'll want to use the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar item # RM-1109-169. These brackets mount farther down and face the opposite direction. They've also been confirmed to fit with both brands of air springs and there are no compatibility...

  • Do 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bar End Links have a Torque Spec
    Hey Bill, The end links on your Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1109-169 will need to be snugged up and then turned another 1/8 to 1/4 turn. There aren't any torque specs for these which is why you didn't see anything in the instructions, although I do agree that Roadmaster could be a bit more clear on this in their instructions. I confirmed all of this with my contact at Roadmaster.

  • Making a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually with In-Bed Camper More Stable with Reduced Sway and Roll

  • Will Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Fit a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6 Inch Lift
    I do have some potential solutions for you but for anti-sway bar # RM-1109-169 for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 there isn't an extension kit available for lifted vehicles. If you were to install it the bar would be at a severe angle if it fit at all. What you can do is add suspension enhancement to decrease body roll and sway such as SuperSprings # SSA28. Or, depending on exactly how your truck was lifted, the RoadActive Suspension system # RAS4611 could be the way to go. I have linked...
