Eric,
Assuming nothing is worn or broken, the tires are "E" rated and have the right PSI, and your alignment is good, I feel the single biggest impact item you can add to improve handling under less than ideal driving conditions, is a heavy duty rear stabilizer bar. And fortunately they are generally easy to install yourself. Look into the affordable Helwig brand of stabilizer bars.
Your signature indicates you have a Chevy 3500 chassis that is over 28.5 feet long, and made of conventional construction. If that is all true, you might be running over-loaded which would be most influential. If I am not mistaken, a rig of that construction, size & length is typically built on a 4500. Look into your actual weight and weight distribution. If my suspicion is correct, you will want to add heavy duty everything from stabilizer bars, shocks, steering stabilizer, rear trac bar, and possibly higher rated springs.
