I took a picture of link and front sway bar to better show what I noticed.

It would appear from picture (maybe it's not as bad as it looks) that if this particular motorhome's frame/body lifted relative to axle, that the link and sway bar arm would start to approach a straight line (relative to pivot point). Most sway bars I've noticed before had that angle closer to 90 degrees. The picture also makes it appear that if connected to outer hole the angle between link and bar end would be much more favorable.

In this RV it looks like if the body rolls, when one side goes up and the other down, you'd end up with much different angles and therefore geometry at both sides. Maybe that's by design, or perhaps Ford makes longer links for the second set of holes. I don't know but I'm curious now to find out.
