Rear Trac Bar

Assembled from heavy-gauge steel and polyurethane bushings, this is a "no-drill" installation. Powder coated for long lasting protection and made Proudly in the USA.

Front and Rear Koni FSD Shock Absorbers

Description:

Experience a smooth controlled ride on your Class A motor home with Koni EVO 99 shock absorbers. Koni's patented open intake valves ensure that you get a smooth ride along with enough force to keep your RV from bouncing down the road. EVO 99 is especially good on independent front suspensions that have a limited amount of shock travel. Large piston holes and custom tuned valve stack ensure that you have extra body control when you need it without undue harshness.  You don't want poor road conditions to spoil your cross-country trip. The 50mm bore piston reduces internal pressure for smooth operation over rough roads, and the digressive valve stack and modular piston design control bouncing over bridges and large bumps.

The EVO series is Koni's latest shock design. The main difference between the FSD and the EVO series piston is that it is almost 40% larger than the FSD series (50 mm vs 36 mm). The larger size means that it can take a lot more force, or the same force with less pressure which helps with cooling and better responsiveness. The larger body diameter allows for more oil capacity which also helps with cooling and increases the longevity of the shock. EVO series has a higher tensile strength than previous Koni designs. EVO incorporates open intake valves + FSD technology which exceeds the performance of FSD technology alone. 

Front TruTrac Bar

Description:

Do you need better handling from your motorhome? Are “wandering,” “rut tracking” and “lazy steering” a problem? Tired and fatigued trying to keep in line going down the road? Davis TruTrac bars, manufactured by Roadmaster Suspension Solutions (RSS), are designed to eliminate wander and reduce rut tracking by controlling excessive axle side play, without preventing normal up and down suspension travel. The result is precise, predictable handling. The benefits are an immediate improvement in both vehicle performance and safety, as well as increased driver comfort — more positive control means less driver fatigue. Each TruTrac bar comes complete with all mounting hardware, and installs using pre-drilled factory holes — no drilling or welding required. They will not interfere with any factory original equipment, or affect any factory warranty.

Rear Anti-Sway Bar

Description:

Designed for easy installation, Roadmaster anti-sway bars are made from cadmium plated 4130 chrome moly steel and ship complete with all necessary mounting hardware, polyurethane bushings and instructions.
