This may or may not have been discussed previously and is basically an FYI; I have a 2014 Sportsmobile RB50 built by sportsmobile west. I was trying to figure out information to upgrade shocks and add a steering stabilizer to the rig. After some research and conversations with Sportsmobile they informed me that the conversion done by Sportsmobile West was a bit different than all the others and Field Vans would be able to assist. I had previously reached out to Agile and other companies with little to no luck. I was able to order the parts I needed and hopefully I’ll be installing sometime next week. I may do a write-up with pictures if I have the time.
*Update*
In order to install the steering stabilizer I needed longer U-bolts; I contacted Field Vans and the U-bolts they had were all around 8” however I have 6 leaf springs and all the pictures used for reference had 5 leaf’s. I ordered a custom U-bolt at 9 3/4” which I had to trim down a bit. I’m fine tuning the stabilizer to make sure it’s positioned properly; but in my short test drive I can tell a big difference.
I've had Deaver custom make u-bolts for me. Super easy for them, and I'm assuming it would be the same for any other spring manufacturer (manufacturer, not just an installer).
