yep, proper air pressure is all I needed.
well I did have the alignment adjusted, which helped some.... but the pressure did wonders.
Setting pressure based on weight. Tire manufacturers publish a table of load vs. pressure for their tires.
I added a bit of cushion to my numbers just to make sure it would be very unlikely to run under pressure given the max load I'm likely to ever put on them, and in my case it worked out to 70psi front and 80psi rear.
Handles much better
Here's a link to michelin's numbers

I have little doubt that some of these upgrade devices would help make things even better, but not likely by much. The highest priority that I would like to do is one of the steering centering devices such as safe t steer.... but not as much for the tracking handling issue but for it's more intended purpose of protection in blow-out situations...
A panhard rod (track bar) might make sense because of the leaf springs, but I don't sense the rolling problem so much that a sway bar would fix
I'm actually very curious to hear from someone that has changed out the wheels to the 17.5 inch commercials
like this
Rickson Wheel Manufacturing
it really strikes me as a good idea..... but I'm not sure I can justify that much budget hit to the boss, for something that arguably isn't necessary. (which is also why I haven't thrown money at the other suspension mods either...)
