supersprings?

I have a 2003 4wd v-10 that I think I would like to put Supersprings on. I pull 7700# TT with 850# tounge. Sways WAY too much, and soft X springs drop 2.5 inches with w/d hitch. Seems that the supersprings are cheepest solution for both problems. I don't want to pay for air bags, and the Helwig wont help my rearend sag. If anybody has installed these on their X I would like some feed back. I understand that the AC lines may be a problem. Thanx for any and all input, I am new to this.....Just got my X last week(FINALLY)!!!!

Can we assume you're using a weight-distributing hitch? Should be all you need with only 850# tongue weight & 7,700# overall.

Reese w/d hitch with 1200# bars. I know some of the control problem is steering too (I plan to tighten this week), however this thing was all over the road. My F150 supercrew didn't sway this much. A hellwig sway bar would definately help the sway, but it seems the supersprings will give me more of a load range for future use, as well as reducing sway.
