Hi Stu. I'm not so sure. I have a 12k fiver, 36' and have been in some pretty wicked Wyoming winds. Have not at all noticed a need for a sway bar and definitely didn't need air bags. The roughly 2k pin weight levels the truck perfectly. Plate height could be an issue for certain fifth wheels though.I'm gunna say it's tongue weight related. Or lack of .. It's imperative to have a Single Axle trailer balance. Behind a F350 Diesel, it would feel the same way. I do suggest adding a rear sway bar before towing your new 5th Wheel, and I think you'll find adding Air bags will also be in your future.
If you had a slide in camper, then yeah, I would totally agree.
