So you have a 3300lb camper, big wig sway bar, tires that are up to the task and airbags.
Only 30psi with that load and suspension should have you close to the happy medium between ride ht and being off the overloads/more sway.
One other easy thing you can try is to mock up some temporary stable load type blocks that allow the overload spring to get in the equation right away.
Being very familiar with the suspensions in the newer F250s and knowing how my 2500 Dodge handles a much heavier camper with the same mods as you have essentially, my guess is there's a little room for decreasing the sway but you're likely just experiencing what it's like to drive a truck camper around.
Only truck/TC combos I've been around that could be considered anywhere close to "normal" handling were those where the truck had considerably more factory payload than the camper provided. IE a dually with your 3300lb camper on it.
