Rear Sway Bar Recommendation for 2001 Ford F-53 to Reduce Sway  

Updated 09/07/2017 | Published 09/06/2017



Question:

Hi I was thinking about your system for my 2001 Fleetwood Bounder 34foot motor home hoping it would help with the side to side roll and for towing. Was thinking of only installing on the rear. Would this be the kit for it? Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # AL57410 Believe it is on a F53 chassis. Thanks

Expert Reply:

For what you are experiencing the best solution is a rear sway bar as that is the single most effective ride improving modification you can make to a Ford F-53 chassis.

For that you would want the part # 1139-144. This will make a huge difference and would be a much better investment that suspension enhancement.
