Front track bar or SafeTPlus?

I Know this has been discussed ad nauseum, however... I have a 2004 pace arrow37a 38'. and just came back from a 2200 mile trip to Fort wilderness campground . Awesome place BTW. Lots of wind on the way home. The trac bar I had installed on the rear worked great. No more rear end wiggle. The front is a different story. I fought the wind a majority of the trip. I plan on getting both the front trac bar and SafeTPlus, I just can't afford both at the same time. Which one first? Thanks, Andy

I would do the front track bar first, then evaluate where to go from there. The Safe-T-Plus would just be a band aid to control wheel movement.

Disclaimer: The Safe-T-Plus works well if it is the road pushing the front wheels around, but if the chassis is being pushed the track bar will be more effective.

Trac bar first, then steer safe. I have both and it handles beautifully in all conditions. I have both front and rear Blue Ox trac bars and steer safe.

New Blue Ox front Trac bar (on sale!) on the way. Should have it installed by mid next week along with a 30k service. Thanks for the advice. If it works like the rear TigerTrak, it should make driving a lot better.
