THE BLUE BIRD BOUNCE

That's why it really is the owners call as to whether he/she wants to experiment with removing it. All I can say is what Ridewell told me, "the anti-sway bar isn't a Ridewell component it's a BB addition, and the suspension works just fine without it", and what my experience is in terms of ride and handling improvement on my LXi. Owner's need to make their own call and take their own responsibility. I personally think the bus is safer without the bar. I find the bus much easier to drive when my head isn't banging up against the ceiling as I'm launched off my seat!

As far as BB lagging in slideout development, I'd argue differently. True, when compared to the plastic coaches BB lagged, but when compared to the other bus makers they didn't. BB built their first slide equipped bus in 1998, I believe this was the same year Newell introduced theirs. Prevost and MCI didn't have slides till much later - 2001 in the case of Prevost.
