Adding the rear link alone stops the sway from semis passing you. If you are happy with what you have then that is perfect for you. I dont believe you should have to make due when you can improve and get a more relaxing ride.
I agree with you. F-53's coming off the motorhome factory are borderline stable and dangerous to drive on roads with curves, grades or wind. The mods I've made (Safe-T-Plus, Koni Shocks and a rear track bar) have transformed how it drives. Still not up to DP quality but I don't feel afraid of ending up in the ditch (or in once case the Colorado River) every time a truck goes past or we get hit with a wind gust.
