Hey John! If someone makes an upgraded front anti-sway bar for the 2017 Sprinter 3500 that is what I would add next. It doesn't look like Roadmaster or Hellwig have one and those are the brands we carry so I can't say for sure. Outside of that, I would add the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-106-47. These will smooth out the ride and help further reduce sway and body roll.

Any big trips planned with your Sprinter this summer?

Hi Todd, I know exactly the feeling you’re describing, and you’re definitely not alone. That floaty, pushy feeling at highway speeds, especially when trucks pass, is really common on the Sprinter 3500 chassis with a taller coach like your Tiburon,…
