Monica and Rick,
I also just purchased a 2006 AF1150 back in June after after almost eight years of "dealing" with a 38' triple axle 5er toy hauler. I used to have a Fleetwood Caribou 11J and for a while the 5er was better when our kids were younger but I couldn't wait to get back to a TC. Congrats on getting one of the best out there!
So my rig is in the signature. I put my airbags back on for the TC and run them about 25psi. Also on the 2nd Gen Rams the top overload spring stops are mounted so high on the frame that they wouldn't even make contact with the airbags installed so I cut some 2" square tubing, drilled a hole through the leaf and bolted them on. This provides just the right amount of pressure on the overloads, and the camper rides great even with the stock sway bar and cost way less than StableLoads. My next upgrade will be the Bilstein 4600's (not 5100's) since my shocks are still stockers with almost 100k on the clock. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.
What kind of tie downs are you using? IMO for all but the lighter TC's out there, Torklift frame mounted tie downs should be used. Also speaking from experience, just try one mod at a time so you can see what it does/does not do for you.
