Honestly, it will never be a sedan, but that doesn't mean you can not make improvements. More tire sidewall is a start. Smaller rims with more tire, or at least bigger tires.

Also, good shock absorbers are important. If your shock absorbers are old, buy better. Bilstein 5100 are great.

Good bushings are also important. Replace lower control arm bushings, upper control arm bushings, and sway bar bushings. Do not buy polyurethane. They are very tight and are not a good choice for rough road driving. They are great for smooth roads.

If your ball joints are bad, replace those. Upper control arms, lower control arm ball joint, and tie rod ends may all need replacing. The upper control arm ball joint is not directly replaceable. You must buy the full arm.

Those are the first places to begin.

A more extreme solution is to install air bag suspension. http://m.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/Dodge/Ram/111A50469A50614A0A23A224A1.aspx
