I installed Roadmaster sway bars on a 2017 Axis 25.2 and it helped the handling and stability a lot!!!!

Did you install a steering shock at the same time?

And alignment too! Think about it, Ford makes a truck chassis and Thor builds a studio apartment on top of it and we fill it up with more stuff than we need (but just in case...), fill it with gas, water, propane. Now it's just at or over it's gross vehicle weight ratings and top heavy to boot. Ford does an assembly line alignment but Thor doesn't. This forum and others are filled with handling issues. Heed the call. And read up on what others have done before to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Start with this link and pay attention to the CHF (it will be explained).
