I quit using sway bars 25 years ago because I could tell no difference. First, your son should objectively describe the relative word 'terrible' to really make sure they have a problem. Last fall, we were going north on 95 in central Fl. with 30 mph crosswinds. My wife described the sway as 'terrible' and was yelling for me to slow down, but I described it as only a minor inconvenience.
Make sure you have good shocks on the Suburban, proper TT tire pressure, maximum air in the rear TV tires and go to scales and make sure that the tongue weight is about 10 to 12% of the TT weight.
