A more stable ride starts with your suspension. This anti-sway bar kit helps reduce body roll and keeps your vehicle feeling more planted through curves and crosswinds. That means a calmer drive where you're less tired after long trips.
Long highway drives can become tiring when your vehicle leans through curves or gets pushed around by crosswinds and passing traffic. This front anti-sway bar helps reduce body roll, improve tracking, and increase cornering control so your suspension feels more planted through changing road conditions. Its thicker diameter than many factory sway bars increases torsional roll stiffness, helping your vehicle settle more quickly after weight shifts and making long trips feel calmer behind the wheel.
Handling improvements depend on more than adding a replacement bar. This anti-sway bar uses 4140 chromoly steel to increase strength and durability, while polyurethane bushings resist gas, oil, ozone, abrasion, and heavy loads better than standard rubber bushings. Those design choices help your suspension maintain consistent roll control through curves, uneven pavement, and changing road conditions, keeping your vehicle composed as the miles add up.
Suspension components spend their lives exposed to road debris and the elements, so lasting protection matters. A powder-coated finish helps resist wear and corrosion while the custom-fit design integrates with your suspension system to improve overall handling. Your anti-sway bar continues delivering predictable roll control trip after trip, helping your vehicle retain the same planted feel throughout years of service.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Roadmaster front anti-sway bar. Now this bar has been designed to feature a 2007 to 2014 Ford F350, F450, and F550 Cab and Chassis. And then again, the F550 Class C. And then your 2008 to current F450 Super Duty, and your 2015 to current F550 Cab and Chassis and Class C.
So on custom fit parts such as this bar, I do recommend going through our vehicle fit guide. Pop in the year, make, and model of your vehicle. answer any other questions that it might have for you. And our fit guide will confirm if this bar will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now this front anti-sway bar is designed to make your, make your vehicle feel more stable and controlled while you're out on the road.
It's going to help reduce body roll, so your vehicle is going to stay flatter when you're going through curves or dealing with crosswinds or traveling over uneven roads. That added stability is also going to improve tracking while you're out on the highway, meaning that you shouldn't have to make as many steering corrections to keep the vehicle going where you want it. Now a big part of that improvement is going to come from this sway bar's thicker diameter. And I just want to confirm with the instructions here, the diameter of this bar is going to be one and a half inches. So again, a one and a half inch diameter bar.
That's going to give you greater resistance to twisting than many factory sway bars. The result is going to be a more planted, confident feel behind the wheel. This is also built to handle demanding use. The sway bar is made from strong 4140 chromoly steel to give you that consistent suspension performance even under those heavy loads. The bushings here, they are durable polyurethane.
So they're designed to stand up to oil, gas, ozone, abrasion, load related wear. And then the sway bar has a black powder coat finish that's going to help keep it safe against corrosion and everyday wear. But this is going to be a solid upgrade if you're looking to reduce body roll, improve highway stability, make your vehicle feel more controlled and predictable while you're out on the road. If you're not really looking forward to installation yourself, on this product page underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link, answer the questions that ask for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to install this for you. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thanks for joining me.
Ratings & Reviews
I prefer to purchase direct from most manufacturers due to tech support and service. However I find myself purchasing from etrailer.com more and more due to the positive experience, expert tech chat advice, fast shipping and great prices to name just a few. It makes all the difference knowing that you are communicating with a real person and not AI. The Roadmaster 1 3/8” rear sway bar has been my most effective purchase for my truck to date. The SuperSprings SuperSway Stops are right up there in effectiveness as with the rear sway bar. The rear sway bar and SuperSprings SuperSway Stops were very easy to install and I feel like I am driving a different truck. In combination, the two purchases have made the truck and camper feel like one vehicle; no longer does it feel like a truck with something in the bed. VERY stable on turns, twists, hills and angles. I cannot recommend these products enough.
Even though I am driving a 28ft class a rv, the sway bar make a 100% improvement in the handeling
I had a helwig system factory installed on my class C when i bought it in 2020. It was ok as i did not know any better. After 6 years of traveling there was a lot of sway and sagging. So i upgraded to this heavy duty Roadmaster system. What a major difference. the RV rides much more steady and smoothly, and i like it. I think the hellwig that was factory installed was the cheapest system they could find, so they could put the name on. I like Roadmaster equipment much better. Working with Roadmaster and E-trailer makes purchasing, installation and tech support much easier.
Excellent product, easy to install, definitely an upgrade from the oem. Removed the factory stabilizer and installed the roadmaster bar by myself in less than 2 hours. Installed on my 2023 Ram 2500HD.
I bought a motorhome (2014) that only had 24k miles on it. Driving it home two hours was a nightmare and I quickly realized why it only had 24k miles on it! Had this upgraded antisway bar put on it as well as an upgraded front bar and it made a huge difference. It allowed me to make a 2500 mile trip to visit with a sick relative for 10 days!
I submistted a review for both front and rear kits. Both etrailer and Roadmaster are great companies to purchase products. Roadmaster made custom parts and sent them within days.
What an unbelievable difference on my Fleetwood Class A Motorhome. Paired it with a new Rear anti sway bar and 4 new Koni EVO shocks. The handleing and steering are much improved and no more tail wagging in heavy winds, much more enjoyable to drive and no driver fatigue after long driving days.
Installation was 6/10 in difficulty only because of obstacles in the way of the top bolt on the passenger side end link. This was a step up to a 1 3/4" bar from the factory 1 1/2" bar. The end links were much beefier than the factory ones.
Initial test drive - I was impressed that the front roll on curvy roads was greatly decreased. This has been a significant improvement to driveability.
What a difference with my 5th wheel pull. So much better than the tiny stock anti-sway bar. Along with airbags everything is perfact, level, and tows like a dream. This is fully maxing out my Ram 2500 Limited at 20k lbs.
The product is great! All the other positive reviews of the product are accurate. However, the instructions were not for my vehicle and required a phone call for clarification. Waited about 10 mins on hold to talk to someone but this was on a Sunday so I was surprised that anyone answered. Good job on that. I purchased this item because the ad said no drilling. Step 3 in the instructions was to drill. I passed this on to the folks at etrailer and they agreed this was incorrect and offered a free return to correct the issue. As of 23 May 26 the ad has not been corrected so beware. I needed the item so it went from something I was going to install to something I needed to get installed. Finding an installer for an aftermarket part that requires drilling into your vehicle and wasn't sold by the installer was far more difficult than I thought it would be. Thankfully the guys at my local Air Force base auto hobby shop were up for the task and did a great job. Of course there is additional cost. 3 x $40 an hr for my time trying to install myself, reinstalling original gear, finding an installer and logistics of getting vehicle to and from shop. People dont generally value there time accurately. If you had to take time off work 1hr x $40 which I did should also be calculated. With the installer fees this amounted to an additional $380. That's additional cost to me because of a poorly advertised item. This is the part that bugs me about etrailer. They were very friendly on the phone and tried to be helpful with the instructions but other than returning the item, didn't offer a discount for the added frustration or even a coupon for a future purchase. This of course is not required of them but for a purchase as expensive as this you might think this would be a no brainer. I think they could do better.
As others have said the sway bar is good but the directions could be improved. Removing the old down link on the drivers side is a bit of a challenge as you can't easily remove the old bracket until you remove the downlink. Unfortunately you can't get the bolt holding the link to the bracket without supporting the fuel tank and removing the rear strap so that you can push the tank over far enough to get the bolt out. Another issue was the old U brackets holding up the old sway bar were on 3" centers where the new bracket is on 2 3/4" centers. This looks like an insurmountable problem until you remove the star washers holding the old bolts where you can see there is a slot which allows you to use the bolts included. The old bolts were both attached to a plate which kept made the center distance between the bolts non adjustable so using the old bolts is not an option. On the passenger side the plate holding the 2 bolts was connected to the axle connection for the height sensing proportioning valve. I removed the 3 bolts holding it, took out the plate and cut off the front most bolt and reinstalled the plate. Fortunately that allowed me to use the old bolt in the plate and for the front most bolt I used one from the kit and achieved the 2 3/4" center spacing needed for the new bracket. All of this would be nice to know when you tackle this job. Fortunately I had all the tools needed to complete the job. I found it easy to install the new bar despite its weight by lifting up one end of the sway bar and loosely attaching it to the the down link. I then did the other side and once both ends were attached I put the center of the bar on my hydraulic jack and lifted it into place. This made it a fairly easy job to position and attach the U brackets to the axle despite the heavy weight of the bar. A video of this process on an older (1998 vintage) Dodge Ram 2500 would be a big help.
We were told this sway bar might not work on our Dodge Ram3500 dually. Let me tell you this worked great. Our truck has a camper on top and we took this on a long trip and it worked great. What a difference it made. This trip had lots of very high winds. We could easily tell the difference from before the sway bar and after. Thanks
Easy to install by myself in the driveway. I replaced both the front and rear anti-sway bars and the improved handling characteristics were noticeable immediately. Fantastic product!
1 of the best purchased I've made for my Fleetwood Discovery. All wandering is now gone. Took an afternoon to install (I'm a retired mechanic) and am very pleased with the outcome. I also purchased an Steering Stabilizer Shock a year before and I improved wandering maybe %25. Both purchases arrived (in Alaska) promptly and in good condition. I Will purchase from eTrailer.com again when needed.
I love this sway bar, and love the service and overall experience with etrailer. My F350 came with factory sway bars front and rear, and I'd replaced the rear bar several years ago, and was impressed with the difference it made. So, more recently I ordered the front bar to replace the smaller factory unit, and it again made a wonderful change for the better. Our Bigfoot truck camper is tall and heavy, but our rig handles wonderfully and has essentially no sway or rock in traffic or on bumpy roads. I highly recommend this sway bar.
After a year of usage, I couldn't be happier with the Roadmaster front and rear anti-sway bar kits. The rear kit for my W22 chassy, the mounting hardward would not fit properly. I call Roadmaster directly and they custom built the mounts, painted, and shipped within days.
Grate stuff. Easy to bolt up and figure out. Drive quality improved dramatically and less sway with trailers.
Just in the kit with the grease and red lock tight the hardware washers were one size to large so I got the right ones and installed all is well.
Easy installation ,done by myself laying on my back in the driveway only took about 1 1/2 hours to do. I have a lift but didn't use it and I think it was easier on the ground for just one person. Sway bar made a big difference in the drivability of my 2003 E350 pleasure way class B
I'll upgrade the front factory bar to the HD Roadmaster bar soon
If you have issues with the handling of your Ford pleasure way start with this sway bar
This is a must have for your Motorhome. What a difference in the ride of the coach through the highway washes, the side winds and the side drift of the big rigs. This bar reduces the coach movement by as much as 80% I would say. The installation is easy for someone who is mechanically inclined and still doable for DYIer as long as you have the tools ( standard 1/2” drive tool set, low speed high torque drill for the holes in the frame and a 250 plus ftlbs torque wrench). I would highly recommend this Anti-Sway Bar.
a quick fix it to install sway bars front and rear.
I did this and just came home from 2400 mile trip.
installed rear only before we left, then at our destination installed front.
the drive back it handles wayyy better and it sits level now.
""your results may very-use at your own risk. ""
from etrailer.com
rear = RoadMaster 1259-109.
front = RoadMaster RM-1259-105 with RM-590063-00 bracket kit.
i'm sure over time they will flex and stress and start to lien again.
But for now it looks much happier. ( and level )
and i'm very happier with performance and drivability
Seems the big bars help distribute the load to both sides,
you can drive it with one hand now.
and when a truck passes, it's very manageable.
( this could be part the tires on it )
these can be installed in about 6 hours pretty easy.
The hardest thing is drilling the 8 holes in frame. ( 4 front 4 rear. )
We had to shift 2 brake lines over via and small bracket and covers lines with old fuel like to act as wear buffer.
Received the product in a timely manner. The shipping company used I’d give a no star rating. I received the anti-sway bar bare out of a box or wrapper with the installation part box and a cut out piece of cardboard with the shipping label on it taped to the bare bar with about five yards of packing tape. The bar was scuffed, scratched and chipped with the RoadMaster label destroyed. I realize it’s going to be installed under the front of my motorhome but as much as it costed I would like to be the one to scratch and scuff it. If I was a company installing this on a customers vehicle I’d return it. I do not believe it was shipped from etrailer in this condition.
Great buying experience with ETrailer. Fast shipping and quality constructed part. Noticeable difference in controlling body sway. Very pleased with the bar and highly recommend Etrailer.
I have carried a truck camper for 7 years with just Timbrin blocks also from Etrailer and finally made the move to Roadmaster anti sway bars front and rear. Planning a trip to the west coast from Georgia next year and wanted all the help I can get for stability on the mountain roads. Have yet to test but Im sure it will be a noticeable improvement. When my wife takes the wheel so I can have a break she would see-saw the steering wheel to balance the load and it drove me insane. Hoping for relief for both of us.
RM-1109-121 Rear Sway bar for 85 Chevyvan G30 RV. Install was pretty straightforward. I would mount the brackets to the frame first and then the sway bar to the axle. It’s easier to drill the holes without the sway bar getting in the way.
Before I replaced the shocks and upgraded the from sway bar and added the rear sway bar my G30 Chevyvan Winnebago was a wallow wagon. It took 110% focus to drive. Now it drives like a regular vehicle. Smooth. No leaning over when cornering. It’s night and day.
Excellent high quality product made a big difference in handling with heavy Artic Fox camper
Give poor rating regarding installation instructions
