I know your going to wonder about the white paint, it's so I can see the hitch better through my backup camera.

Thanks billt01, I stand by what I said, I've never seen a LH sway bar, I didn't say they weren't made. What is the brand of this one? (I see it is eaz lift) Still see no reason to go to the trouble trying to find one when it's so easy to re-arrange the parts.

Or at least a drawing of one. Went on Google and they list a LH, but show pictures of the RH. EazLift doesn't even show a picture of the LH on their company website. I think they must be very rare.

I actually got the part number off of the documentation with the right hand side one...
I would like to comment that the additional sway bar makes a TON of difference in the way the TT tows...
I hardly notice any "push" on the express way.. Now I just need to get rid of the "soft"rear end of my TV...

Definitely agree with using 2, it makes a BIG difference and the Airtabs will finish the job. I couldn't believe the difference the Airtabs made. Didn't notice any fuel savings, but it sure helped with semi caused sway.
Aerodynamic truck, trailer, RV add on for fuel saving, stability, safety

Mounted them up both sides and across the top. Don't remember the price, but somewhere around $1.50 ea and they are mounted 4" OC and they furnish a mounting template.
If I ever encounter semi caused sway with the 5er, I'll put them on it as I think they're worth the money and effort.

Vortex generators! Gota read up on those Airtabs but I understand the theory. Hmmm more “stuff” to get.

Right now I'm working on putting a 2nd sway bar on my Vlite. Still had one that I had used for the first 13 years and had replaced. Just have to pull the bar out and flip it over. The writing on the side of the lever part will be upside down but I don't (really) care. A new(left handed) one will have to go on the wish list. I'll see how that works and then look at the AirTabs. I've personally never seen them except the picture OC provided.
