DynaPro AS model on a 2WD. Auto. 

Actually, the sway is my #1 beef. At times, it was bad enough with wind gusts across the Texas flatlands that I almost had to give up on driving for the day. 

So other than looking for a lower tire which I'll do when I go for replacements, are there other ideas such as a more robust swaybar?  Of course, I assume that I may trade less sway for less forgiveness on rough roads.
