Unhappy 09 1500 Not Holding The Road

Just hit 21k on my 09 1500 QC. It started to sway a lot more in normal curves and corner turns. At highway speeds ( 70mph ) there's lots of feeling the tires are not holding the ground. Over bumps in road, trucks feels like is jumping to side..Any IDEAS......

Take it in to dealer? Might be the track bar is loose in the rear.

Just took a 6,000 mile trip in May cross country hitting high winds most of the way, rain and snow. Truck was solid even at 85 mph. Was never concerned about stability. I have 24K on mine right now.

Sounds like it may be a bad shock. Hopefully by now you have found out what the problem is.
