The issue you are having with the truck rocking back and forth due to the heavy load in the rear is referred to as porpoising and a common problem when towing or hauling. I have a few different options to help with this. If you are looking for a rugged sort of set and forget option then I recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TDRTT3500E. If you are looking for an option that you can adjust for the best mix of support and comfort then I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57589 which is arguably the best suspension enhancement option available and what I recommend using. I have attached an install video I did below on the air bags.

I have a truck camper that I put on my new to me 2019 Ram 2500. When I got in to some windy areas the truck started rocking terribly side to side. Some have said sway bars others air bags. Just asking your opinion. Thanks for any help.
