Another user of Energy Suspension Bumpers and it stopped almost all the sway and cost very little for the positive benefit in the ride quality.

I just installed spacers made of 2" square tubing. My upper overloads weren't even touching when I set my camper on it. It's at least 3500 lbs dry. $20 for materials seemed like a whole lot better deal than stableloads.

$170 at TLCentral.com
I bought my stableloads at the local RV place and got them for $150ish. Very easy to install at home. Hardest part is getting the old stoppers off. Takes less then an hour. And yes I would buy them again if I bought a new truck. Not as big of a difference as the Roadmaster rear anti sway bar but still very noticeable.
My sweet spot is 55lbs in the airbags on my F350 DRW.

I would like to thank everyone who responded to my request...I have decided on the Torquelift Stable Loads.
I haven't installed them yet but it looks like it will be a real challenge to get under there and drill the holes in the existing pads.
Wish me luck and thanks again to all.

Hold on AR10T. You don't drill anything out if they install the same as on Fords which I assume they do. You pry off the old rubber bump stops with a screw driver or something similar and the stable loads just bolt right into the now empty groove left by the old stoppers.

I got my suspension components from Summit Racing. My neighbor did the install for beer and barbeque!

I think on a '01 Dodge he might have to drill.

Why would you not get a sway bar if the trouble is sway?

I wish that they did install like the Fords...but on the Dodges the OEM pads are vulcanized to the support brackets. We took out the passenger side front mount, this was the easiest one to access, and the bolts on the back side fell down into the frame...not too bad since I could get inside the frame with my hand, but ALL of the other brackets bolt were not accessable...unless you drop the spare tire, not difficult but inconvenient, and on the drivers side you would have to drop the fuel tank to get the nuts back on!
Call Torklifts technical hot line and they were not very much help.
I think I will take it to a shop that has the long (20in.) 1/2 in drill that the instructions recommend using to drill out the hole in the existing rubber pads. Slowly but surely I'm getting there...hope the instllation cures my problem...wish me luck!
