Yes, if they wanted to they cold build them so they do not do that. Thankfully the job can be done easily after market.
Trac Bars.. There are two versions.. Front and rear.
Common wisdom is a REAR track bar will make the most improvement.. (I have a front one and it sure helped)
But installing track bars with stop the wag 100% Hard. It is the part the factory left out.
Two other issues you may be able to improve on
Sway (Where the body rocks side to side like fans at a rock concert) Improved sway bars can be fitted.
Steering stabilizers are nice too. These assist you in keeping on the straight and narrow (And when your RV is 8'6" wide all roads are narrow) Mine is a True Center from Blue Ox.. It is adjustable from the driver's seat.
My Challenger on a GM chassis has a stabilizer bar half again larger than the one on yours, and the rear one was a lot bigger yet. And it's only 30 ft. Maybe that's the problem with the 53 chassis. If it don't have anything on the rear, that's where I'd start. My Itasca didn't have anything on the rear either and it was pushed around a lot. They all don't get blown off the road, and then sucked back on but I've had some that did. I just thought they all did it, till I was test driving some for my last purchase. That was the first place I'd head was to the interstate.Gregg said:Is it possible that Ford started adding a Trac Bar? Crawled underneath and I could swear there is one there already. If I understand it correctly, it is a pivoting bar that ties the frame and the axle together. Attached is a picture that I took.

I install many parts over time to help correct this and it does help. I have reduce the pushing and pulling effect by 80 percent. Before it was a safety concern now its a slight correction.
I still need to install the rear trac bar. I find the drive less stressful which make for an enjoyable drive and fun camping trip
