What was your reason/need to add this?

After driving back from South Carolina this morning, I can confidently say the unloaded ride is considerably better with the RAS installed than it was without it. The truck feels more stable, smoother over bumps, and overall more controlled. I wasn't expecting such a noticeable difference when unloaded, but so far I'm very impressed with the improvement.

Any time I get around 1,100–1,300 lbs of tongue weight, the rear of my truck ends up more than 3+ inches lower than the front. In my opinion, that's not a safe situation.

The RAS completely solved that issue for me. Not only did it level the truck under load, but it also improved the unloaded ride quality. As an added benefit, it virtually eliminated axle wrap and noticeably reduced sway, both when towing and when driving unloaded.

For my setup, the RAS has been one of the best suspension upgrades I've made.

Good to hear!

Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.

Agree, they make good parts. Ford trucks use to run Roadmaster sway bars almost exclusively, while us GM guys ran Helwig sway bars.
