Question:

My 2017 F250 does not have Factory Sway bars on it. Can you add Roadmaster Active Suspension AND a sway bar kit, or would that be redundannt?

Expert Reply:

You can certainly add both of these to your 2017 Ford F-250. The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-SLHD and Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-173 would work well together. The Sway bar is going to help minimize side-to-side movement and helps balance weight transfer. It is especially helpful for top heavy loads and keeping your vehicle in line.

The RAS kit will support and strengthen your leaf springs for an improved ride quality. These will also keep you level when hauling heavy loads and extend the life of your leaf springs, shocks, shackles, and tires. The RAS helps with sway and body roll as well, but works differently than the anti-sway bar. This system will disengage when unloaded to allow your leaf springs to work as intended. The anti-way bar works whether you are loaded or unloaded.

There is also a front anti-sway bar # RM-1139-180 available if you would like to add them to the front and back.

I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
