Hi Justin,
Don’t even think about the Castro bars. I had them on the Clasco and you could not get one side much over an inch different from the other side no matter how severe the slope. Leveling was out of the question
I am a bit perplexed about the talk of rear end sway being an issue. Even with bag raisers that was not an issue with either of our two coaches. I wonder if those who have this issue are really at proper ride height or have the front ride height off compensated by air pressure in the rear bags. Something just doesn’t sound right.

Hey Ken,
I'm not too far from you,Johnny hit the nail on the head, Bell Buckle TN.
My company also has good shipping rates so if you can get it in a pallet or in a box it's no big deal.
Which ones do you have? I hear the caspro ones are too stiff, I still want to be able to level up at campsites.

Justin,
We provide a milder rear stab bar .
Our bar diameter is smaller and we receive positive feedback.
I had the Caspro units and found them to be too stiff.

Thanks Guys,
Jim, Have you ever run a single swaybar in the rear as a happy medium?
Jerry, I think it's partially a result of the sully style bags which run at lower pressure than OEM. Jonathan pointed that out to me and it makes good sense.
I had heard that about the caspro bars, I'm considering running 1 of them rather than both and see what happens.
Leveling is important to me as we boondock and camp at state parks mostly, so few groomed perfect sites to be found!
I may be overstating the "problem". I don't really find it to be a problem, it just annoys me. I don't drive particularly slowly and it's most evident on tight curvy roads and switchbacks, I can just feel the rear end kind of "falling" over the center point. It's like it slowly rolls until it hits a point and then falls over and edge for a moment, then again when switching back the other direction. If I drive at lower speed it's not really noticeable but I like to keep up with traffic and don't want to be the guy doing 25 in a 45 zone.

Castro unit is too robust
Locate the smaller ones and try one on the intermediate

Justin,
Sorry to report, I made a boo-boo: Alan informs me that the Caspro rear
sway bars were sold a while back. :-(
