If you haven't already, replace your sway bar bushings. On my 1999 when I first got it a few years ago, I had pretty bad body roll, or sway.

I had the exact same problem with my 1999 Tropical. I was almost blown off the road when trucks would pass. I just replaced the rear sway bar bushings with polys (fronts were fine) and did the CHF front and rear and was good to go! I've heard good reports about rear trac bars for F53's to correct this problem. Here's the least expensive one I've found: https://www.ultrarvproducts.com/UltraTrac-Trac-Bars/UTF53V10R-Rear-Ultratrac-Trac-Bar-Ford-F53-20-22k-GVW-Chassis It's $150 cheaper than the Blue OX trac bar and does the same thing.
