I've been doing some research and I've boiled it down to the Safe-T-Plus. It gets very good reviews. Blue Ox has a stabilizer also. A little more $$$$$, but it's adjustable while driving.

Had mine installed a couple of months ago. I have taken 3 short trips, less than 100 miles. It made a big difference, especially when its windy.

Before you invest in a stabilizer I would suggest you try the Cheap Handling Fix. Here is a link to a very larger discussion on it. I did it to my 30DS and it made a huge improvement.

Did the cheap fix and safety plus a few weeks ago. We just took a trip from VA to Pensacola Florida. I had only driven our 2015 fr3 ds30 once before to Pigeon Forge Tennessee and it was white knuckle there and back. Drove to Florida over two days and it was a total breeze. No problems with passing trucks or wind. I would highly recommend both upgrades.

Cheap handling fix
Hello All,
I would like to do the CHF as well but having a hard time figuring out how to do it. Can any one give me some more direction?
Thanks

It pretty simple actually. The front and rear sway bars have 2 sets of holes on then. The cheap handling fix is simply moving the links that connect to the sway bar to the other set of holes. If you don't understand this go to the link I provided on the first page of this thread and read up a LOT of info and pics there

The Stabilizer and sway bar are different parts. If you are serious about doing this look at the link I provided earlier. It is a long read but I would doing you a disservice by trying to blindly give you a step by step for something that really requires a bit of understanding before you go there. Please if after you spend some time on the cheap handling fix thread and still are this lost as to have to what you are trying to accomplish do not attempt it on your own. If your mechanically inclined it is easily doable. My experience is that some very intelligent people I have met should not ever be allowed to touch a wrench unsupervised.
