Sway bars and steering stabilizers for Mercedes Sprinter

Need advise.
I have motor home based on Mercedes Sprinter.
Do I need front and rear sway bars or they already installed by manufacture?

Same question about steering stabilizer.
I already installed Sumo front and rear spring.

Thank you in advance.

I'm pretty sure it has sway bars. It probably does not have a steering stabilizer but it may have a steering damper.

I always thought one of the advantages of the Sprinter is that you don't need those things... (An advantage of the Chevy too.)

You are asking if a rig needs sway bars and a steering stabilizer. The answer is no unless you do not like the way it handles and then it only needs what is required to address what you feel is the handling deficiency.

Spend your money on what you feel is need not what other people think is needed for you and your coach.

Thank you. I always like others opinion.
I did my own research.
Looks like Sprinter has all this features.
