Sway bars

Would appreciate any information on brand of sway bars and what to expect on improvement in handling on my 35’ Georgetown. Generally Interstates are fine with movement when 18 wheelers pass. Off the interstate it wants to move around and requires more driving if that makes sense. There are Bilstein shocks up front which are new. Forgot to mention it’s a F3 V10 Gasser

The bare chassis is aligned when built but adding the house changes ereything and most builders don't re-align afterwards.


alinement will have zero effect on body roll(sway) etc

Free stuff first. Start with the correct tire pressure, if you can get a weight first, great. If not start what the sticker says. Don't exceed the pressure on the sidewall. Then the Cheap Handeling Fix. Simple to do if you can turn a wrench. It may help, if not you have only a hour of time, or less invested.

Hellwig sway bars at sdtrucksprings.com. Do the rear first. It is a secondary bar to the OEM. You can DIY but it is a job. If you decide to do the front one it still is a job but not near as bad.

Trac bar (panhard bar) ar ultrarv.com. You can also DIY but can be a job. You sound like it isn't needed.

Safe-T-Plus also at UltraRV. Then again you don't seem like wandering and steering issues isn't a problem.

Has been said alingment. Might help but remember on a solid axel all the can do is the toe-in and camber. Be sure they can check your rear for proper tracking.

Good luck
