Bouncy ride

My 08 Has a service topper and all of my tools in the box,the total weight in my box is about 2500lbs full time.
I have air bags to level the load. I am running stock shocks and 35"x12" BFG muds, with a leveling kit.
The problem I am having is the truck bounces over bumps and on sharp turns it has a ton of body roll.
I am thinking that the air bags probable were not the best investment for my set up, but I have them now and don't really want to replace them. Are there any really good shocks out there that will firm up the load.
I also belive that the tires are partly to blame becase they are only a load range D
Any advice would be appreciated.

What kind of tire did you put on and what pressure do you run them at.

I will check the tire pressure but I am sure they are inflated to max pressure.
I had no idea you could get a sway bar I will be picking one of those up.
