I asked about the Roadmaster Active Suspension products from them directly, specifically about their claims in reducing body roll.
I can't believe the load of bull they sent me. I do believe that the product will reduce axle hop and help rear and sagging from heavy items in the cargo box, but they sure won't replace a sway bar.

Here is the reply:
Gary, Thank you for your inquiry into Roadmaster Active Suspension. Your truck requires a MK I (XDDF) for $269.00 which includes free shipping and handling. Please contact our customer service center at 800-398-5036 M-F between 8-5 EST for more information on finding your nearest Roadmaster dealer or to place an order directly with us. Our product is designed to virtually eliminate sway, body roll, sagging, and bottoming out. Roadmaster Active Suspension will improve the handling, safety, and stability of the vehicle with or without a load. Our product will also reduce axle wrap and wheel hop, improve driver control, and will prevent a hardened, stiffer ride. Anti-sway bars will NOT correct any of these problems. We also offer a 30 day money back guarantee and a 2 year limited warranty on the product. Call now and order! Best Regards, Bud Clark Director of Sales and Marketing Roadmaster Active Suspension

Yeah, sure those sway bars won't improve handling, or help in body roll. I wonder if they really know what they are doing or will say anything to sell their product?

Good answer! OK so I shouldn't ask any questions or inquire about their product claims? That's the dumbest thing I've heard all day.
I suppose that I shouldn't ask how the Tornado throttle body insert works either and just go out and buy it.
Sorry bud, I'm going to question someones claims before I dump down some cash. Dakotaguy maybe you are that gullable, but I'm not. I work too hard for my money.

The Roadmaster Active Suspension does work on body roll as they claim. If your going to tell someone they are lieing when they answer your question, without proof they are doing so, then don't ask questions.

It not only helps out on body roll...but also helped out a 2001 R/T tow a boat (safely) and reduced the 1/4 mile e.t. by 2/10th's by keeping the wheels from "hopping" out of the hole.

It does work...and very well.

The salespersons response is correct as well..."Our product will also reduce axle wrap and wheel hop, improve driver control, and will prevent a hardened, stiffer ride. Anti-sway bars will NOT correct any of these problems. " Swaybars have nothing to do with wheel-hop or axle-wrap.
