    Get some aftermarket coilovers. The haesh ride comes from the stock spring. Replace it. You def want the rear sway bar. It adds so much more handling.Night and day. Front one not so much but still an improvement, especially for towing.. A common suspension upgrade would be 6112 bilstein in the front and 5160 bilstein in the rear. Theyre adjustable so you could lift, or just keep the front end the same,

    Sounds like Bilstein 5100s would fix you up, likely for less than stock options. Lots of threads of advice here about them.

    Good luck. And welcome.
