Sway bar upgrade
I own a 2003 f-250s/cab single rear wheel 2wd. It came with the tow package and the 235-85-16 tires. I tow a 30 foot 5th wheel 85% of the time with this truck and at 11000 pounds I have felt at times in strong winds that the truck was just not real stable. So I started looking at what ford had to offer in larger sway bars, there are a bunch of different ones.First I got the sizes from my truck and went to ford, I had a 24mm front bar and a 18mm rear bar. What I found where several larger bars for the front and rear.I ordered the 30mm front bar and the 33mm rear bar off the camper package.These are the largest bars that ford has for the super-duty truck. The cost with a 20% discount for the front bar part#F81Z5A-772-AA 57.34 bushing# F81Z-5484-KA 22.70 each you will need two of these, rear bar#F81Z-5482-GA 61.81 bUSHING# F81Z-5484-GA 10.85 each, you will need two of these also. I can tell you the truck is much more stable now with a little bit firmer ride, the trade off is worth it.I hope this will help someone out there if they have had the same issue.
