Great video. Thanks. I did the Koni Quad shocks all the way around and the sumo springs all the way around along with the safe t plus steering stabilizer.
I have had supervisors who tried to make us work at 2X speed. Never worked out. Just so you know, when you apply the torque the fastener must move. If it doesn't it should be backed off and re torqued. Interesting install.
The radius rods stabilizes the front axle which keeps the RV from following ruts and pavement edges in the road. Also the steering is what I would call "Crisper". There is very little delay from steering wheel input and the turning motion of the RV. The turn in set is much quicker.
How did it handle since they were installed? If you don't follow Endless RVing you might want to check them out. They have a Baystar but it's still on the same chassis.
I noticed the difference immediately. Much of the random movement of the front suspension has been eliminated. Turn in is almost immediate and much crisper. There is more road feel as well. As I put some miles on this setup I’ll comment further.
@@goodxrvn2053 thank you for your input. I haven't done the upgraded front sway bar either. So I wanted to way the option between the two. Endless rving did the upgraded sway bar and they said they didn't feel that much of a difference.
@@goodxrvn2053 It has a trac bar that is coming off of the frame behind the I beam and attaching to the opposing leaf spring accomplising the same thing.

Good stuff!
Thank you Joe! We appreciate your business and love your video!!
My pleasure!
I like to loctite the jam nuts as well. Otherwise they loosen over time

Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
If you torgue after installation and use loctite it breaks the bond once it has dried.
No lock tite and no torquing? At least on the first half of the video
These items use Nylon inserted Lock nuts and were final torqued after installation. Thanks for the comment
What difference did it make?

Didn't it come with one. I ha e one from the frame to the springs stock on my 2018.
I am not aware of any mfg that adds Radius Rods to the F53 chassis.

You might want to read this about the Radius Rods en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_rod
Here is the Wiki on a Track or Panhard bar en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_rod
That's why the trac bar is there to prevent side to side movement, not concerned with forward movement.
