I have a 2012 Ford F53 chassis also. The reviews of the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer are for the most part extremely positive when reviewed in conjunction with the Ford chassis with the V10 gas engine. Although the previous owner of my rig added Summo springs and a rear stabilizer, and I've replaced the tires and had a front end alignment, I still get a little too much push from semis at times and would like to reduce the amount of steering compensation required. So, I'm going to have the stabilizer installed when I take my rig in for a transmission fluid change. For improved safety and handling, I hope it will be worth the cost. From what I can find, the best deal is at etrailer.com:
https://www.etrailer.com/Anti-Sway-B...22-RSSA.html#/
And, their low price pledge is legitimate. If you can show a valid lower price elsewhere, they will match it.

There's no question in my mind that when the F53 chassis leaves the plant, it is not set up optimally for being the foundation of a big boxy motorhome. Although many manufacturers make some adjustments, there seems to be ample proof (i.e. customer reviews) to back up improvements by a few aftermarket products, especially the 5 Star tune, front and rear stabilizers, and improved sway bars.

I can not attest to stabilizers but as far as coming off the line all set, all I know is that on my 1998 Georgie Boy Swinger (original Chevy Chassis (GM) which became workhorse) that th pitman arms were undersized and I needed to replace both of them with a new, improved one (yes, new and improved for even my 98’). Cost for parts was about $700.
