Upgrade the anti-sway bars? Roadmaster makes a nice set for the F53 chassis (over 22,000 lbs and over) -- little over $1000 at list from the factory do get substantially discounted and sometimes even with free shipping (places like UltimateRV etc).
Front #1139-148 (~$580) and Rear #1139-149 (~$780). The front is a swap out of the stock bar. The back bar is really an auxiliary bar that supports the stock bar in place. I managed to get a set for about $1200 with free shipping a few weeks ago but I do not see those deals right now.

I think the similar Hellwig bars are a little less expensive but also made of 4140 chromolly steel

How much improvement did the Safe-T-steer make? I'm putting on the comparable Roadmaster part #RSSA next week.

If you decide on the Sumos, I found the best price on jet.com. Quick, free delivery, too. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

We put the Sumos on our 09 357QS and like the improvement a lot. We'd do it again too.
