thanks Mike, do most of you all just put them on the rear? Or one on the front too?
You'll want a sway bar on both axles. My 2013 Ram 3500 had a front sway bar only. It handled fine without a TC on it, but with the TC on, the sway was pretty bad.
And this is why everyone should start out with less and only add as needed. My Dodge rides like a Cadillac with the camper on to the point that everytime I take a different buddy fishing, they comment on how smooth the ride is and how well the truck handles the camper. I've only added the bags and the extended bump stops. Everyones individual case is different. Just because Joe has a sway bar doesn't mean you must have to have a sway bar.
This is a logical approach, but here is MY dilemma. I am going to be driving to pick up the camper I eventually choose. It will be empty, so should be in the dry weight range of 3,500 lbs. This is right at my GVWR and falls within the specs of my current wheels and tires. Should I roll the dice and bring the camper home with NO mods (stock OEM shocks, no rear sway bar, no Stable Loads?)
