Question:

I have a 2005 Dolphin built on a workhorse w22 chassis. I am planning on antisway bar kits front and rear. Rm 1259106 includes a trac bar. Will adding a steering stabilizer also be needed or do they do the same thing?

Expert Reply:

The front trac bar that comes in the Roadmaster Kit # RM-1259-106 that you referenced will do the same job as a steering stabilizer but won't be as effective. For the best of both worlds I recommend going with the front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1259-105 and the Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK13-RSSA. The trac bar is a piece of metal that adds stability while the stabilizer uses a spring to push you back to a neutral position.

If your 2005 Dolphin is 33' or longer then the rear anti-sway bar you need is part # RM-1259-109. Otherwise you need part # RM-1259-108. If you happen to already have Firestone Ride-Rite air bags then you also need the adapter kit # RM-590054-00.
