I thought I was getting everything I needed when I bought our dually. It's a 2001 F350 4x4 dually. Lifted, Bilstein nitrogen racing shocks, air bags, front and rear anti-sway bars

I had the EXACT same truck as you, and went through every suspension upgrade you can do to an '01 F350 DRW.

Your first problem - it's lifted. Un-lift it.

My absolute-bar-none best-bang-for-the-buck to control sway when i got my Eagle Cap double slide 1160 was Roadmaster sway bars front and rear. HUGE improvement.

I also got Rancho 9000's. They took the "float" out of the ride, but that's what shocks are for, not sway control. That's the job of the sway bars.

I never did bags. I had F550 springs with StableLoads. That did wonders for leveling it out, but again, not much for sway - carrying the weight is the job of the springs, sway bars are for sway. Don't try and cross-solve this problem thinking shocks or springs will solve sway.

Get the parts to solve what they're designed to solve.

First, check the tire pressure in front and rear

x2 for sure - run your tire pressure up to the max recommended on the side wall, otherwise you'll get sidewall compression.
