Truck advice for truck camper

I have a 2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel. I just got a slide in truck camper. The truck isnt that stabile with the camper on. It rolls side to side a bit and driving req constant correction. Tires could have been better inflated but what else can I do to improve the ride? I've been told air bags or anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer would help. Better tires maybe?

If it is swaying at slow speeds, then the weight is too much for your leaf springs. Get an add-a-leaf or helper spring. Be prepared for it to ride hard unloaded. If it only does it while driving fast, then it is the wind. All you can do for that is get a deflector like big rigs have on the roof
Air bags level your truck. You have a sway bar and steering stabilizer on the front already.

Air bags were the trick. Have a 2004 with a 8' bed, My camper weights over 2300 lbs.
Cost around $250 for a set and I installed them myself. Was easy. I used a small cheap 12v compressor to inflate the bags as needed.

I did airbags and upgraded shocks. That did the trick for me. Also make sure your tires are aired up all the way.
