Default How to correct body roll

Forgive me if this topic has been covered elsewhere. I just took delivery of a 2025 Lariat crew cab to replace my 2019 Lariat. While there are several features I’m disappointed with, one characteristic of the new truck is how much more body roll the new truck has compared to the ‘19. Also it seems the front shocks could use some more rebound.

Has anyone noticed the same thing? If so, what did you do, if anything, to correct it?

I’ve considered starting with a new front sway bar, but if the shocks truly need more rebound control, i may have to start with shocks.

Any thoughts?

Have a 2022, just had Bilstein 5100 leveling, love how it does not body roll now. If you don't want the level just do standard height, the body roll will be better.

Add a rear anti-sway bar. Why they don't include them is a mystery to me. I used hellwig.

Larger front anti-sway bar and add a rear one.

Yeah. Checked out Hellwig and they don’t sell a front bar for a new F150.

Can you recommend a company? Hellwig doesn’t sell a front bar for new F150s

Start with the rear bar, then the bilsteins. This is all pretty easy to do. That's what I did. No clearance issues, really balanced the handling. I don't think you'll want a bigger front bar.
