Sort of, the front leveler is in the middle of the front axle, so it
won't pump up the outside front air bags. The front air bags are
connected to each other - air flows freely from side to side. The
center of the front axle should on average be at the height selected
by the front leveler.
The 2 rear levelers are on each side of the axle and the airbags on
the left aren't connected to the right. It's the rear levelers that keep
the coach vertical. In theory the outside leveler should flow air to
the outside bags in a corner thereby righting the bus, but the air
lines are small and the pressure differentials aren't great so it takes
time to inflate.
This argument also applies to the front bags. There is instantaneous
roll resistance since the air lines connecting the left and right front
bags are small, and the pressure differentials aren't great, it takes
time for the air to bleed. This means when you throw it into a turn
the front will initially resist body roll, but in a cloverleaf, this goes away
with time.
The original bar is so heavy that it, instead of the rear levelers, is
what's providing a lot of the work in keeping the bus vertical. The
coach, from the factory, has virtually no lean up front, but the ride
quality is destroyed in the process.
W/o the bar, it'll lean more in a turn, but it does take a set, and after
many thousands of miles, mine is off for good. It leans Prevost style.
Take a little time with it to get used to it - try not to reject it right away.
You can always put it back on.
As you know, I am working on a lighter weight bar, I have all the
parts and am ready to try it out. I'm the first to agree, that I think we
can find the optimal bar in terms of ride and handling. The stock bar
is just way to stiff and has gotta go.

David,
You're right, of course. Trader online gave me just a dozen shots and I loaded one twice by mistake. Their system was very frustrating.
.took me several attempts to load what I loaded. Part of it is I only half-want to sell and you know what that results in. If I decide to consign it with Paul, they'll do it right. Otherwise, I might load some new shots.
The anti-sway bar is out.Ryan (Paul Davis'young service manager) said the body roll was a little 'un-nerving' on corners. He wants me to drive it Monday to make sure that's what I want. As long as my 'road-leveling' valves are working properly, they should pump up the low side and counteract the roll up front to some extent, right?

Brad,
I just viewed your coach on RvTraderOnline. You gotta take a lesson
from Paul and get some better photos. Your photos don't bring
out the beauty that I know your coach possesses. The shot
looking forward into the solon is simply too dark, and for
heaven sakes, open that slide! If your gonna sell you gotta market
that puppy!.

Well, at least now I know what it would take to sell mine immediately. Thanks for lowering my comps, Paul!
I would say that coach was real close to mine but lacking in woodwork and...it was green. Someone who likes that green got a deal.

I'd agree Pete, but in this case the LXi had no history of lingering
on his lot, at least not from my frequent visits to his website. This
LXi was priced to move by it's owner, probably via consignment.

I'll note that Mr. Oliver tends to put coaches up on eBay at very
aggressive prices. After a certain time on his lot, he "moves 'em
out" -- I got an excellent buy on my coach under similar circumstances.
