Timbrens or Ranchos should work. Had a Lance 1030, never had a problem with roll even with only 55lbs in the rear. (02 dodge drw) But I do have the camper pkg.
Hi
Tooooo many options!!!!!!!
I must order this week to get fitted before our next trip out , I started out with 3 options and every reply has a different solution!!!!
I suppose I should have realised that everyone would have their own "best" solution.
Lets say, would it be a waste of money to buy a set of Edelbrocks??----remember that I really don't want to lift the suspension, I only need to reduce roll.
Thanks for so much feedback on this

The Edelbrocks will do the trick assuming nothing else is worn. I have been coast ot coast multiple times through all types of terrain and off road with the camper on, with no handleing problems.
Some of the roll can be controlled by how you drive the rig. When crossing railroad tracks or entering/leaving a driveway, square the front wheels with the tracks/street so both wheels go over at the same time. Then keep your truck going straight till the rear wheels go over as well Only then should you turn to continue driving normally. This takes a little getting used to but it sure has helped me drive with less rolling.
See you soon on the American Road ?

Hi Mr. Tree
We had planned to come over to your side this autumn (fall)/winter to buy a TC, but one turned up for sale here so we don't have that excuse now! but I have a sister in TX and good friends in CAL. so we will get over asap.

I had a 2003 3500 SRW that I hauled the AF990 camper with. Heavy camper and a bit top heavy at times. With the Rancho 9000 shocks, rear sway bar and air bags it would still sway. I added the extended bumpstops as already mentioned and that took away the sway. Key is to see what is going on when loaded. For me I would air up the bags to level it out but the overload springs were not contacting the stock bumpstops. The rear axle was swaying on the air bags. Added the extended bumpstops (an inexpensive upgrade at $80 for 4 and can be air shipped unlike a lot of shocks). After that the overload springs had four more contact points and eliminated the sway. That worked well until I added the 20' boat to the back. Then I had to step up to the dually and that really eliminated the sway and pushing that was not fun with single rear wheels. Go with the bumpstops (can even modify your stock ones) then try better shocks.
