Hello! We have a 2011 E450 Motorhome where we would like to add less sway to the Motorhome while we are moving around inside. Im ok with modifying/fabricating if needed. Is there a unit that would be suitable for our rig?

The best way to improve the handling and stability of your 2011 E-450 motorhome is going to be with a rear sway bar upgrade like the Hellwig part # HE78RR. This will make the biggest difference and honestly should be the first thing anyone with a motorhome installs if they care about ride quality and sway at all.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
