anti sway for 08 XLT 4WD

Hi, I have a 08 F150 XLT 4WD super cab 6.5 bed. The truck is in mint condition, nothing is worn out or broken. Tires are less than 5000 mi. total mileage is 48k. Ever since I've owned the truck, it feels like it sways more than I would like. the suspension feels kinda soft. It's all stock. What can I do to stiffen up the ride, to make it sway less ? without breaking the bank of course. thanks

Head to your local wrecking yard and grab the swaybar off of an F250. I did this to my 91 F150 and it bolted right on. All the frame holes were already there as well as the goodies needed on the axle. Really calmed down that truck.

Check tie rod ends, caster, camber, toe, even ball joints as excessive wearwill have you chasing the truck.

Might also re-examin tires and air pressures.

I added a Hellwig rear sway bar, but I had no sway, I just wanted to take out some understeer on back roads and state highways I drive.
