Default how can i stiffen my suspension up

I finally put rims and tires on my truck, d525 Revolvers 20x10 and 35 12.50 r20 tires. I turned my front bilisteins up to 2.5 and left the rear stock. The truck now has body sway so bad it wants to walk all over the highway i take to work. I know the wider tires are probably most of it but what would stiffen the ride, sway bars, rear air bags, front steering stabalizers, stuff like that?

I can vouch for this system of air bags: http://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/60818/ Simple install with no tools needed and they work great. Sounds like you need a lot more than air bags though. I'm sure some company is making beefier sway bars and end links, poly bushings, etc.

Awesome i will look into it and do some more research, i have always had lifted trucks including a 95 ram 1500 and a 2003 ram 1500 and this one rides like a car which i guess can be good some times.

I will definitely be saving up for some air bags soon. I apriciate it. Im also sure im investing in some steering stabilizers or making some as well. It seems the front sway is from the extra wide tires

So normally i do all the work on my truck myself because i dont trust anyone, well i got a front end alignment last weekend at a NTB, because i lifted my front struts up for my new rims and tires. Well i started this thread thinking my suspension was soft but after i took my truck back today to have the steering wheel straightened at another NTB i found out the other store left the bolts loose on the tie rod adjusters. Now my truck is alot more controllable but im still going to invest in the springs or air bags and some steering stabilizers.

Trucks driving good now, fronts nice and tight except some spots on the highway where it wanders a little bit or quick lane changes.
