I will wait for more updates, but, I’m pretty sure I will do the rear sway bar as you.
Thanks,

Ps. Cali is on your way to Alaska. Got plenty of room and power.

We have Cali and the west coast on our list of trips. We have two plans for it...
- We head there in early May in 2024 before fire season starts
Or
- We head there in early May in 2023 on our way to Alaska. We have to be in Washington State by June 17th.
Given diesel prices, it may not be a bad idea to tie it into next year's trip. Plus it would lessen the wear and tear on another drive across the country.
I'll keep you posted!
I do think the sway bar is a worthy upgrade. The Hellwig bar is only about $350 but I think the extra 1/8" in size of the Roadmaster is worth it. I have been relatively happy with the F-550.... especially after owning a Class C on the E-450..... but the stock bar is just undersized for the weight and height of a Super C box. There is a noticeable reduction in the back and forth sway making hard turns and very little movement now at highway speeds in windy conditions and when the big rigs go blowing by.
I think the front sway bar is large enough at 1 1/2" and its not worth the money to change it out. Although Roadmaster does offer a front sway bar that is 1 3/4". I could see needing that if you had something like a snowplow hanging off the front of the coach.
