I have complained at least once on here about the ill handling and swaying of our bus. Still considering trading or purchasing new sway bars and shocks to try and help. I will say we had to buy new tires for it and John LuAllen of DLS Tire Center in Lee’s Summit, MO (816) 380-7192 recommended Michelin LT215/85R16 XPS Rib tires for it, and what an improvement! It hasn’t taken all the “canoe rocking” out of it but it helped dramatically. Costly, $1,861 for six tires but for the improvement including less road noise, worth every penny. May keep the ole bus now!

Sometimes rocking an rolling can be driver induced without the driver realizing it. I greatly reduced this on my class A by having the arm rests down and keeping my elbows on them. Something you might try much cheaper then new sway bars. JMHO

I drive that way anyway, doesn’t matter if I’m standing on my head. Under designed suspension for the weight in my eyes!

Yup. Not only the weight, but also the height of the unit and the narrowness of the tire track.

That being said, the addition of a beefier anti-sway bar (if it's got the OEM Sprinter bar) and sumo springs provide significant and very cost effective improvements.
