Also having 18 inch rim deceases the side wall and the less side wall you have the less sway you will have; however, the bumpier the ride will be unloaded. I also run air bags to counter the weight of the camper. The wider tread contact also helps. The stock sway bars seem to work fine for the way I have it set up. But the 4" lift (2" more in the rear) means you have to lift the camper higher to get it loaded.

FWIW, I'm running Nitto Terra Grapplers LT285/70R17-E (about 33") and I'm also running Bilstein shocks. Our camper is an '07, I believe.
I've had the camper for a couple of years and I've tried a bunch of different configurations. I found that I have to run about 90 psi in the bags and about 75 psi in the tires to get something that's even close to manageable for where I live. As I live up in the hills east of Sacramento, taking this camper places is not just a matter of driving down a flat highway. I just feel that it sways more than it should just driving down the road.
As far as suspension lifts, I've only got a leveling kit in the front. One thing I did notice is that when I bought this truck (used) the front leafs were nearly flat. Is this normal? I would suspect it isn't as the prior owner beat the hell out of this truck and didn't take care of it. Also, when I have the camper on the truck and the air bags full, I am not even touching the rear overloads.
