Hellwig hasn't designed a sway bar for the 2017 3500 DRW w/airbags.
Now that I have a camper I feel the need...
Does Anybody with this truck live in the Visalia area that could bring yours in for them to take a look at it?
They are interested to see if they can design one but haven't tried yet...

I take it you have a slide in camper?

Why not look at getting airbags instead? If installed with the air connections independent of each other, they will handle corning very well, as well as the weight.

I've had airbags in my truck for 3 or 4 years now and they've never let me down.

I have factory self leveling bags but I still get a lot of roll with my heavy slide in camper.
I have read other posts where a rear sway.bar helped this, and want to try one.
Fortunately Kevin at Hellwig has been reallY helpful and I think my local brake and suspension shop is going to be able to fabricate a fix so that I can get the rear sway bar installed.
I'll report back how it works for me with the factory bags....

Cool. Hopefully they can get you hooked up with the sway bars and it reduces or eliminates the roll.

I'm not familiar with the factory bags. Can you increase the pressure in the bags or are they only automatic?

I'm still learning about my truck, but as I understand it the factory self leveling bags do not adjust the way after market bags do. I haven't learned yet how to check the air in the bags. But I still have a lot to learn

Roadmaster make a sway bar that fits. I had it on our 2004 dually which lugged our slide in camper for 9 years. Very stout and stable. Removed it when we went to a bumper hitch trailer and didn't need the additional stability.
We have just purchased a new 3500 long box single wheel ( should be ready today ) and the roadmaster site says it will fit our new Ram diesel pickup, and will likely install on this new white truck. Yes, I am excited!

Airbags elevate the load.
Swaybars control sway and improve handling tremendously along with properly valved shocks.
Hellwig makes a great product. Hopefully,they'll get a donor truck to design one.

Got my Hellwig installed by a local independent brake shop. Wow, they make a huge difference, even from my stock airbags.
I can feel the that would sway from side to side transferred to front and back. So sometimes the truck jerks a little, but I prefer that to the uncomfortable feeling of rolling side to side. Most importantly, I think the forward and back motion will affect hauling my horse trailer much less than the side to side sway could affect it. So the bars made a big difference from me and I'm a believer.
