Stabilizer Bars 63 Safari

I Am Looking For A Weight Distribution Hitch Or Some Sway Bars For My 63 Safari. Tow Vehicle Is A 2003 Dakota. Any Suggestions Would Be Greatly Appreciated. The Main Problem Is The Coach Sways Left And Right As You Are Going Down The Road(single Axle Of Course) I Don't Know If Sway Bars Or Weight Distribution Is The Answer. Thanks!!!

Hello donbara -- Lack of antisway gear is probably not the source of the unstable tow you report. First rule out whether the tongue weight is too light; it should be in the range of 11-13% of the gross trailer weight. Can you comment on the state of your running gear -- wheel bearings? brakes?
