Tork Lift Stableloads?
I've got a Dodge Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 and carry about 3000lb, wet camper + trailer. I've got air bags, but they make the truck sway. Looking to give it stability and someone on the Cummins Forum ment...

Another vote for Tork Lift Stable Loads.
I installed the Tork Lift Quick Disconnect Stable Loads just prior to our last trek. Traveled down to Reno and then through northern California and eastern Oregon. Lots of wind and all kinds of road conditions. The Stable Loads with all three shims in place really firmed up the rear end and very nicely augmented the suspension for almost no sign of sway or roll. Suspension consists of Timbren Suspension System, Ford stock sway bar and Rancho 9000XL shocks and now with the Stable Loads. I am very pleased with this set up. I also had my Enclosed Harley Hauler Trailer along behind on this 2000 plus mile trip.

No Stableloads....
If your truck stock set up is matched to your camper weight, then it is better to let your suspension do what it was designed to do.
Now that said, all trucks suspensions are not created equal, and what our TC's weigh, well that is another matter.
My new 2013 RAM 3500 Crew Cab Dually has a rear suspension is incredibly beefy and more importantly, a frame that is stiff. My camper capacity is rated at 4,784 lbs,payload capacity at 5,250 with a GCWR of 14,000.
I put on lower stable loads before putting my Eagle Cap 950 on her, after two weeks I disconnected them. What I got was a much better ride both on and off pavement. Any dually should remove serious sway issues as compared to a single wheel truck. Both my upper and lower overload springs are in full contact with the camper in the truck. Why buy something that engages them sooner? Swaybars have the ability to prevent both tires from maintaining contact with the surface of a dirt road that has some uneven terrain, that is why many off-roaders disconnect their swaybars when going off-roading.
If you have overloaded your truck and it is sagging in the back, then sure, throw some stable loads on them and maybe some airbags, but I recommend going stock and see how she rides.
You need to realize that we are driving an 11' high vehicle in some cases, they ARE going to rock an roll! Get used to it.
