Upgraded sway bars

Has anyone upgraded to heavier bars front and rear on their trucks? The ole girl feels heavy through curves with a golf cart in the bed and camper hooked up. I put hellwigs on my Silverado and it tows like it’s on rails. Curious what you’ve done. I am running a 3ish inch lift and 35s. Full springs in the front and swapped the 4” rear block for a 6”. Stock rear springs with the factory overload and 2 additional. Carrying weight is smooth, I want the lean out.

Rear anti-sway bar was upgraded to Hellwig set to the middle hole and provided an immediate difference in handling the weight of a 5th wheel. I left the front OEM and have been happy with the results.
