Hi stimpey, there are tons of good advice in this forum. Here a couple I know of.
No money you can do it yourself:
1. Bring the tire pressure up to 95 – 100psi
2. Do the CHF (Cheap Handling Fix)
3. Bring Heavy Load to the front

Needs some investment:
1. Change the shocks to Koni shocks
2. Check your sway bar in the back, maybe replace it with a Roadmaster one
3. This is just a safety device not much a handeling: install a steering stabilizer (Roadmaster or Safe-T-Plus)
That’s it. Unless you really want to invest serious money: than those guys are around too: CLASS Suspension System from LiquidSpring

Welcome to the forum.

IMO, the first step is to inflate all tires to the maximum shown on the sidewall and try that. Then lower the front tire pressure by 5 psi and try that. Then try lowering the fronts an additional 5 psi and try that.

In many situations, under inflation causes handling problems. It isn't the answer for everyone, but it's quick, easy, and cheap to give it a try.

DDailey, check out the post below.

Not saying that's the solution, but getting used to drive a big rig and relax helps.
I have my tire pressure at 95psi all around, that helped a little.
