Question Suspension Advice...

Hi All,
After I installed the Innovation Tonnau Cover, I am Getting a sway in the back & a little understeer. I have a Belltech 2" drop in the back. How do you stiffen it up without making it too stiff to where it is jumpy? Add a leaf? New Bushings? How do you fix the understeer? Anyone else notice this or am I a little too obessed? I went to two concerts this weekend totaling about 4-5 hours of driving time and notice the truck was all over the road around some turns on the Highway going 'bout 70. These are major highways (Garden State Parkway & Long Island Expressway) but have some slight curves & dips to them. You can notice the extra 160lbs around town too.
Thanks in advance...

160 pounds? is that how much your bedcover weighs?
the shipping label said the prosport for my lightning weighed 125 lbs.

have you actually weighed the cover?? i haven't weighed mine, so i don't know if its right or not..



on to the suspension part.. add a swaybar!
we added a hellwig swaybar to mystery fans 02 HD (along with 2" drop shackles) and noticed a lot more handling..
