George,

Re. sway bars front & rear, I put Jim K's on.  One of the best things that I have done to take the roll out of the GMC.  It does limit the leveling ability that you have on the rear, but I don't drive off into a ditch & try to level it.  I'll be at Montgomery if you want to drive it.  Look us up.  I have "thoroughly" rebuilt front end, shocks & misc. pieces.  This coach drives pretty d--n good.

I installed a quadrabag rear suspension system last year, and now have some new shocks to install as well.  I'm contemplating installing rear sway bars (the coach only comes with a front bar from the factory).  I have found on a Caspro website that they have a rear swaybar setup, as well as the one JimK supplies.  Are these the same kit, or are there more than one type of rear swaybars available?

Anyone with this setup, did it make a big difference in the way the coach drove?  Thanks for the input and advice, I don't just want to spend the time and money if not needed.
