My coach has something like 16,000 pounds on the front axle. The anti roll bar is resisting a huge force in these coaches.
Bend any steel enough times and it will fatigue fracture.
I view all springs as a wear item that will need to be replaced from time to time.
If the size of the anti roll bar is increased too much then it will compromise other aspect of the suspension. Too much resistance and the other pivot points take on too much load or the system just binds up, becoming non compliant. Too stiff and you basically have no suspension and the tires leave the road.
