Ok, so i decided to lift my truck the right way and put in a 4 in Super lift ( Mopar lift ). I had Bilstein in the front set at max and 2 in spacers on the coils with bags . Ride was very stiff . . So i figured getting everything back to factory would solve my issues. I dropped the Bils back to .7 in and added the 2 in urethane top spacer and used my stock springs with the Airlift bags and 2 in Billet spacers on the bottom of the spring at the axle. I did this instead of using a taller spring as i wanted to still us my bags. This part seems ok . The kit also came with real cheap rear shocks , so i just changed them out with 5125 Bils . I still have a bad body roll and noticeable bump steer. My next step i think is a beefier rear sway bar (Hellwig ?) or is there something i am missing ? Is it possible that compressing the front coils by an extra 2 inches for a couple years has weakened them and is causing the roll ?

Mine too. In a corner that had a dip or a bump, which is damn near every corner in SC, I get a little bump steer. I think body roll is pretty common with these trucks. The EPA and comfort freaks have taken a truck and turned it into a grocery gitter. Bigger tires and a firmer suspension should help, but who know what the right combo is.
