OK, my first class A. Moved from a fifth wheel, towed by a dually. Wife does not like the sway/rocking we are getting. I've been on line checking options and have four solutions. Which would you do first? or open to your ideas.

If the rig is on a Ford F53 chassis check out ***Link Removed***

I did this right away then added a Blue Ox Tiger Track track bar a little later. Our rig is quite easy to drive now.

Edit:
OK. New here. It removed the link. But just Google "Cheap Handling Fix." It will vastly improve he swaying and rocking. The track bar virtually eliminated the tail wagging in the wind.

Hold her wide and let her eat. You will get use to it if tire pressures are right

Try the Cheat Handling Fix first. Then a rear pan hard bar, or track bar as most call it. If the swaying is still a problem, try either Sumos or Timbrens to increase the spring rate. Air bags can be used, but some of them can be damaged if you have to raise a tire off the ground.

Start by getting the rig weighed. Best to try a scale so as to get each corner.
Look at make and model of tires. Adjust air pressure per tire manufacturer's inflation chart.

4 corner air bags with a dash control to inflate or deflate worked for my Workhorse chassis. I do have Koni FRS shocks.
