Stablizer bars

During our last outing we ran into an awful windstorm in New Mexico. In fact, it was so bad we pulled off two times to wait it out due to being shoved all over the road.
My question/concern is this. My Terra has front and rear stabilizer bars, they came with the rig. IF I replace these what should I replace them with? And, is it worth replacing them? Will newer bars reduce the all over the road driving?
When going down the road in calm weather there is no coach sway what-so-ever it is just with the wind. To be honest though, there is a bit of a sway, not much, with roads that are crowned.
I realize this will be an expensive proposition so all the help I can get to make a somewhat informed decision is great.
  • Please tell us what coach and chassis you have so we can give relevant replies.

    How many miles?

    Any suspension components replaced?
  • You are driving a sail, when the wind is from the side...
    We have been stopped at the bridge on I5 going into Sacramento because of the wind. It blew over a semi trailer and truck.
    Not much you go can do when the wind is so strong.
    You don't say what chassis your motor home is built on.
