I just put on a set of Tom Frederico's swaybars (http://dieselplace.com/forum/vendor_redirect.php?id=54) on my 3500 SRW that has a 2500lb Lance camper, with the rest of the suspension stock. What a difference!!! I just went up in the local mountains this weekend and (I don't this is just my imagination) but the truck cornered flatter on the turns (with camper & swaybars) than it did stock (without camper & swaybars). It's not the same as a 5th wheel or trailer, but campers are certainly top heavy and unwieldy.
Also, southern California mountains had some significant wind this weekend (at least where we were camping we felt sorry for the tent campers) but I didn't notice being blown around on the freeway at all while coming down the mountain, even when there were big trucks around.
Tom is very big on giving all the phone support you could possibly need. He even called me a few times (how many vendors have called you lately?).
Then it turns out he lives about 2.5 miles away from me, and offered to come over to help if needed. (Ok, ok, --confession-- I "let" him help me on the rears because I was in a hurry, but I certainly can't promise he can do that for everybody.)
