    If you put too much pressure in the tank it will look like this:

    That was a 8x8x8 cube I gas welded together for welding class. Then my welds were checked by pressure testing. We used water for less kablooey factor than air. Took me three rounds to get it leak free. As I recall that's 150psi or so to make a ball out of a cube of 16g steel.

    There's a worm hole of things you can make out of sheet metal, a Welder, and a grease gun. :study:

    I grabbed a front sway bar from a ‘22 [edit:] Ram 3500 that was getting replaced with an aftermarket splined version. I made some brackets to fit it in the rear of the motorhome.

    I’ve been watching for a track bar that I could modify to make fit also. The rear end has a lot of instability, especially while towing; I’m doing what I can to lock that axle in place.

    That really doesn't sound good.

    Would a tag axle do much to help?

    I think it’s the leaf spring bushings, but the blackwater and graywater tanks would need to come out to pull the springs. :n:

    The sway bar will definitely help.

    When I flat-towed my CJ5 behind a Class C I found that a cushioned drawbar did wonders.
