Oh i know you are going to love it. I love driving the coach around now and realize just how bad the roads are and how good the coach rides. Hope your install goes well.
I took my RV to Kelderman and had them install the front and rear system last May. I am very happy with my decision. I researched the Kelderman system, or at least tried to, for a year prior to making my purchase. It was very difficult to find factual information because of the limited number of people who made this purchase. One good source of information I did find was in a June 2007 Motorhome magazine article about Kelderman. I have a reprint of that article that I would like to attach as a file for anybody who is interested. Call me technically challenged but for the life of me, I don’t see how to attach a pdf file to these posts. I can also email it directly to anybody who wants to PM me.

That's too funny.. No offense though and to each his own.
I can say the same to someone who pays $80K more for a MH that rides marginally better.
Some people want a vehicle that can go a million miles (although they will be lucky to travel one tenth that distance in its lifetime). Others want the house part to be 'less previously enjoyed'.
Upgrading an F-53 'truck' remains a very cost effective alternative when comparing vehicles of the same model year.

We aren't unhappy with the ride but would like to dampen the sway for trucks/wind etc. Thinking of installing a TigerTrak track bar on the rear. hopefully this will help. 2007 F53 Itasca Sunstar 34t

A TigerTrac track bar would definitely help. I'd also recommend the free sway bar fix. You can do that one yourself (for free) and it makes a dramatic difference.
My old 2000 endeaver drove like that. Now our mandalay with the Freightliner with indepedent chassi suspesion drives like a car. Driving in wind is no big deal like the endeavor was.

What's the "free sway bar fix" ?
Moving the bolts to the second set of holes on the factory sway bars. There is a thread on iRV2 where people have moved the bolts. There is some concern of overstressing the bar but no one is claiming a bar failure.
