No need for boxed frames. These frames were quite strong. My camper was a bit smaller than yours but my '71 Custom Camper rode flat and stable with the camper mounted and loaded up. Maybe the springs are tired (leaf, right?) or shocks are bad. Also, it appears to be slid back from the cab close to a foot. That will cause sway due to poor weight distribution. Is the bumper in the way of sliding it up? I didn't have a rear stabilizer, but I did slap 33/12.50s on 9.75 rims on when I bought it. Wider tires would do wonders for your truck.
