The Ram 3500 trucks starting in 2013 got the new and much stronger and more rigid frame. No reason to think that an anti-sway bar is needed for this truck (or a 2011 and later GM truck).
If you are getting sway the first thing to investigate is the air pressure in the tires. Second thing is whether the rear springs are able to support the weight of the camper, and not only when it is on level ground but on side sloping terrain as when making tight turns in hilly areas where more than 50% of the camper is loading one side of the truck and its suspension and tires.
