what would you get....

If you could only get one, RAS or rear sway bar? Reason would be to improve towing. I'm leaning towards RAS, what would you do?

I would lean towards the RAS since it does help control axle wrap.

if you don't have a rear sway bar at all then I would get the sway bar. it helps control trailer sway under all conditions axle wrap is only present under accel or hard braking.

as far as the rear sway bar, I don't have one. My question is would the hellwig be that much better than the ford stock one?
