Achieve a Smoother Ride While Towing or Driving Your RV
She was demonstrating the RollGard product line that adds control and stability to any vehicle that has leaf springs. Whether the application is in a truck pulling a travel trailer or 5er or a motorhome, the RollGard stabilizer will add safety and stability to your rig. On trucks pulling a 5ers RollGard will help manage tongue weight, reducing bounce and improve control. You can use this product instead of air bags. Here's an example of what it looks like mounted on a typical leaf spring application.
This product reduces lean and sway making towing a big 5er or travel trailer more pleasurable. Put these on your 5th wheel or travel trailer and reduce the bounce and maintain better control in wind and when trucks pass. The RollGard is held onto the existing leaf spring with a buckle.
The RollGard spring is held over the axle by rubber inserts.
The buckle is held under your leaf springs by a roll pin.
The roll pin is held in place by the buckle and the bolt on your existing leaf springs.
These patented roller pins prevent spring binding. On motorhomes RollGard helps the factory leaf springs recover more quickly from steering inputs resulting in better overall stability. Though it has many of the same characteristics, this product is not a “helper spring” like you can pick up in automotive catalogs. It can help manage the load, but it’s primary function is control of unwanted suspension movement reducing bounce and improving the ride (something “helper springs” do not do). RollGard installs easily on most leaf spring equipped vehicles. You can read more at their website here RollGard.

A great product. I unfortunately bought a new 2000 Explorer just before the word got out on their extremely unsafe suspension. I installed the RollGard springs and found an immediate improvement in handling. They worked great for the next four years until I sold the vehicle. In fact, I believe they may have saved us from an accident when I once had to take quick evasive action after a van pulled directly into my lane. The only down-side was a slightly stiffer ride.

I put them on front of 2000 F-250 Crewcab Diesel. Raise the front first, makes it easier to install. Kinda levels out the P/U.
