Can Safe-T-Plus Steering Stabilizer Replace Roadmaster Reflex On 2019 RV On F-53 Chassis?

Published 10/07/2025

Question:

Does the Safe-T-Plus ST88MR work alongside a Roadmaster Reflex I already have installed on my 2019 F-53? Or would that be overkill?

Good question, Gary, and you’re smart to ask before doubling up. You’ll actually want to replace the Reflex, not run both. They do the same job, but the Safe-T-Plus # ST88MR is a clear upgrade.

The Reflex uses universal fit and coil springs for centering, while the Safe-T-Plus adds a sealed hydraulic piston and a chassis-tuned spring designed specifically for the F-53. That means smoother, steadier tracking in crosswinds and less correction fatigue on long drives.

Just remove the Reflex brackets and use the included Safe-T-Plus hardware - it’s a direct bolt-on. Once centered, you’ll feel the difference right away.

Gary, have you done any other suspension upgrades yet? A stabilizer like this is often the biggest single improvement in highway comfort.
