Rear sway bar w/5th wheel?
We recently came from a Class C and moved to a 5th wheel. We love riding in the truck far more than the MH, but here in northern Nevada we get a lot of heavy winds. The truck does ok, but I sure kno...

That's pretty much what I was thinking too BenK, since all the weight is over the center of the truck axle at all times. I still may get one for it eventually, sure can't hurt. One for the fiver would be great for the high winds here in Nevada, but doubtful anyone makes one.
Nice 5er just looked at the specs.
I stick by my earlier statement on the TV rear axle sway bar, I would seriously look at one. It is not a major change to the suspension, it will stiffen up the rear just a bit, but what it will do is resist the roll caused by heavy side winds.
In addition if the 87 gallon H2O tank is in front of the axles run with it FULL, I know on my Copper Canyon rides and tows much smoother with a full tank of H2O.
The other thing the Camper Package cam with that year was the same springs as the 3500, so that likely helps also.
Thanks Russ, yea we really like it especially after we changed the furniture out for LazyBoy stuff.
I will get a Helwig for it. I put one on my 04 Dodge several years ago, but it needed it for the 10ft TC it carried. Also put front and rear on the Class C we sold to purchase the 5er and it made a HUGE difference on it. I swear by them.
