Question:
I have a 2014 Thor Windsport 27k with a Ford F53 Chassis and the Ford V10 motor. I would like to improve the ride, the body roll in turns, and the sway front to back when being passed. I have a steering stablizer on it and Ford lists billstein shocks as standard on the chassis. I am thinking rear sway bar and possiblity front sway. And possiblity of adding Air shocks to the system to ease the ride. Any thoughts. I have several roadmaster products and like them if you need any other info let me know. I would prefer not to have to drill holes if I can get away with it.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Ford F-53 RVs are notorious for swaying. We have found that the best solution is an aftermarket rear sway bar.
For that you would want the # 1139-144 which is a confirmed fit for your RV. Check out the install video I attached for more info.
Next most effective solution is the front sway bar. If you wanted additional improvement after the rear bar a front bar like the part # RM-1139-148 would be exactly what you need.
