My bilsteins that were just installed on my 21 screw took care of the roll and super soft front------ but these 4600's are too firm and i feel every crack in the road and even the rear end now hops on occasion. Kind of bitter about it as these were suppose to be softer than the 5100's i put on my 2016. I believe I was better off leaving the factory on it or trying something else. The '21 oem was better than the 2016 but did have roll and super soft. The 4600's do handle like a sports car but I was very partial to that nice soft ride that was better than a cadillac--- just overly soft and rolling at times. Felt like the 5100's did better

If you don't want the stiffer ride that comes with most upgraded shocks, you could install a Max Tow front swaybar and add an aftermarket rear swaybar.

Lowering it to lower the center of gravity...aftermarket anti sway bars. Better shocks.

Seems excessive ?? !!!

You must be quite young. I'm impressed with how well my 21 XLT corners, feels, handles, and how little body roll it has. .

My first car was a 64 Chevy Biscayne. It had no stabilizer bars on either end. The shocks were wore out. If the sign on a curve said 30 MPH you better make sure you were going 30 MPH. Anything over 35 and the Nylon belted tires would start squealing. I swear you could flip the car doing a U-Turn on a street corner if you weren't careful.

If you want to stiffen it up I understand, that's your decision. I wouldn't call it excessive though. Especially for a 4X4 pickup that sets that high off of the ground.

Coming from a 2012 F250, I also find that my 2021 F150 has excessive body roll, even just turning as I back out of my driveway. Not a fan. I am mostly used to it though.

My 22 apparently may never get built. With that said, my 19 doesn't appear to have excessive body roll. Regular 2wd ext cab 2wd. I more notice the tires wallowing a bit depending how I'm into the throttle and coming out of a corner. I can feel the tire flex and come back but the roll of the truck seems very good. I would say as expected. My 22 with get a higher ply tire after the first 20k miles or so if it feels the same.
