My '13 Ram quad cab dually 3500 4x4 handles my NL pretty well until I have a full fresh water tank and half full or better gray and balck water tanks. Then she gets a little roly poly particularily at slower speeds. So by TC brethren, would you add Timbrens, Stable Loads, or both? Anyone been here, done that?

I would recommend adding the lower Stable Loads. They will help greatly with your sway as they add the overload spring to your spring pack all the time.

I went with tembrens and rancho 9000 Took almost all the sway or rocking out. I now can drive 75 mph ( but I would never do that) lol

The lower StableLoads worked great on my F250 and were easy to install since my lower springs already had holes. Torklift has a tool rental/borrow that makes drilling out your springs easier.

I went with the Timbrens and KYB mono max on the rear. Great improvement, but my truck was 6 years old when I did I it and the stock shocks were shot.

Thanks Bedlam, forgot to mention stabilizer bar has been added as well as upper Stable Loads. Fellow at the TC dealership suggested doing the lowers as they were more effective. As far as air pressure being low, you are correct once the inside dual was low. I thought what the heck, why is this handling so funny. Stopped about 5 miles up the road and sure enough. Low tire. Aired it up and no more puroblem.

Adding a stabilizer bar and making sure the rear tires are fully inflated will also help.

I would add stable loads first and see how you like it. I think that will take care of your problem. The only other upgrade to consider is aftermarket shocks. Made a big difference to me, though my truck (06) had 60K miles when I did that upgrade.
