Default Reducing body roll?

What options do i have out there to reduce body roll? Perhaps level it while i'm at it? I'm not looking to make it handle like a car, i just want it to take the corners a bit better... I don't mind AT ALL if it makes for a harsher ride. (Used to it from the cars i used to drive)
(Truck is a 2012 SCrew 4x4)

some people say that bilsteins and other shocks help make the ride more firm.

i would go with hellwig sway bars.

Bilsteins made a positively noticeable difference on my truck. It corners & brakes with reduced body roll and doesn't wallow over high speed bumps plus I was able to add desired lift for new tires. The ride is better and not too firm.
Not sure if I would add swaybars to a 4x4 truck, idk?

How does your truck handle now with the rear sway bar, did you change the front as well,
