I purchased a 1991 Mack CH613 Truck which was converted to a day cab. It now has a 22 feet, 500 bu (30,000 lbs) grain bed with hydraulic hoist. The truck has camel back suspension and when fully loaded has approximately 3 1/2" of space between the bumper stops and axles. When traveling down the road the bed seems to sway back and forth and whether dangerous or not, makes me uneasy about the truck flipping at reasonable speeds. Timbren makes a suspension kit model MRCH, that attaches where the bumper stops are attached. Is any one familiar with this kit? Will the suspension kit help with the sway issue? Any other suggestions?

First make sure everything else is up to snuff. Are the torque arms good? Any cracked springs? How's the weight distribution? Make sure everything is good before u add any rubber pucks. 30,000 wouldn't be overloading a camelback so it shouldn't sway. We have always added springs to the front axles on ch's to stiffen them up.
