Roadmaster active suspension

Does it really work for helping with anti-sway?
And how easy to install for real?

Yes it really works and took me about 2-3 hrs to install. Was working in my driveway by myself.

I agree with John and Scott...it does work and is very easy to install IMO.

However...can I ask what you mean by anti-sway?...I've got a theory but want to make sure my theory is addressing your specific question/concern.

Thanks,
Joe.

I've been researching this RAS thing and I have to ask...How does it compare to the Helwig rear sway bar? I like the concept of RAS, but it is completely new to me.

Thanks,
Sam

If you have a stock rear bar, don't worry about the Hellwig. Just get the RAS and install it. I have it on both my SUVs and couldn't be happier.

I don't have a rear sway bar. If I install the RAS will I need to have one?
