Question load adjusting shocks F250 HD

So I have a big slide in camper and it makes my truck seem a bit top heavy when loaded and taking a turn. If I add some load adjusting shocks to the rear it should help out, Right? I ordered Monroe Sensa-Trac Shock Adjuster Part Number: 58604 | O'Reilly Auto Parts. I was going to try them out and see how they help. Does anyone else have them? What do you guys think?

The shocks will help the ride and a little on the leaning but really you need to go with a bigger sway bar or air bags. Air bags are the best way to solve this problem since you can deflate them when your not loaded and keep good ride quality.
Plus they are pretty cheap and easy to install.
Those shocks you ordered are great shocks. Ride really well and can handle the loads and still keep good ride.

Can I get a bigger sway bar than what I already have stock, I thought the F350s have the same size ones?

Well after installing them all I can say is WOW, the truck rides so much smoother now. I am going to put the camper on for this weekend and I will see how much better it handles.
