Motorhome swaying I would like info on putting bilstein shocks on my 99 class c Ford e450 motor home to help with swaying problem. Has anyone had this problem also and how did you solve it. Thanks

    I used both steel sidewall tires, such as Michelin XPS RIB, AND rear aftermarket sway bar. These added as much stability as possible. Also, used heavy duty Bilsein shocks. In hindsight, should have used heavy duty on the front and standard on rear.All this was on a '98 E450 class C.

I installed Bilsteins on my 2004 E450 based Class C and they helped reduce sway noticeably. However, the most significant improvement came after replacing the OEM sway bars with Hellwigs. The coach now rides essentially flat.

What do I need to tow my Chrysler 300 behind my 1992 Ford Boulder motorhome

The best way is to get a class 3 or 4 hitch mounted to the motor home and use a drive on flatbed trailer wired to the braking system of the motor home.

you could try replacing the shock absorbers, use a stiffer/firmer shock. ( check out "bilstein" shocks). inspect the sway bars, look at the rubber mounts, make sure they are still in good condition. Or maybe install a aftermarket sway bar. also see if you can adjust the ride height of the suspension. I can adjust the ride height on my 89 Mark VII. up or down.
