It's an 04 F-53 with the long wheel base and very short rear overhang. I haven't weighed it but, I'm sure it is well under the ratings for the chassis and the tires, so, I'm not concerned about underinflation. It has never wagged tne tail, so, I doubt that a track bar whould help much. I guess I'll just start by taking the pressure up twenty pounds and then go from there. I'll let you know the results. Thanx for the suggestions and experiences.
Sorry but it seems like you asked the question only to hear what you wanted to hear and support what you had planned on doing in the first place. If you haven't weighed it then you can't be sure of anything relative to psi. Increasing PSI errs on the side of caution but that does not mean its technically the right thing to do. Why wouldn't you want to weigh it and know for sure if you have it set right rather than guess? It's a couple bucks at the most and can be done at just about any truck stop.
The CHF which adjusts the sway bars will have a huge impact on wind push and is totally free and takes about 20 mins. Simply moves the front sway bar connections to a tighter setting. The F53 comes with 2 settings on the front and the factory default is on the softer setting.
