Body Roll problems 96'4Runner

I have a 96' 4Runner. It has 3" Truxxx block lift up front with a 1" diff drop.
In the rear it has FZJ80 coils from a 93' which brought it up about 4".
I'm using a Sonoran Steel panhard bar and Rancho 9000 ajustable shocks
The sway bars are still connected.
Flex wise the thing is great. Love the feel of the fj coils. The problem is the
thing feels like it's going to tip over on road. Around town (slower speeds) it bearable but highway it's on the verge of scary. The body roll is bad.
Front shocks are about shot but rears are still good.

I'm wondering if there is any though on how to remedy this a least a little.
My thoughts are:
Air shocks? I know nothing about them but read somewhere that they might work.
Airbags? Are those just for load or could they help sway as well?
Or OME n86 firm shocks in rear and maybe some n91's medium up front.
Any other ideas?

Any help/recommendations are welcome.

Thanks

Caleb

air shocks i think would be worse...i rode around the block with a jeep that had them and it rolled and it seemed like it would never tip up right it

Sounds to me like you really just need to dial in a quality shock.. I'm partial to OME, I love their new Nitro Charger sport shocks..

I'm running the OME N91's up front with a swaybar and no swaybar out back. I like the setup. Other guys are having good results with Sonoran Steel's Bilsteins.
Regardless, it sounds like new, quality shocks are in order.

you answered it your self. "front shocks are about shot" I would get some nice shocks up front. I would double check your rears as well

I think I'll go for the OME's front and rear. Should I get firm all the way around or is that going to make the ride to rough up front?

I wouldn't go for HD OME's unless you have a heavy bumper/winch setup. Go for a medium duty..

x2 We did HD springs in the rear of our 4Runner and its great while loaded up or towing, but a bit rough on the road unloaded.

Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters may have the needed parts in stock, huge plus there!

He does :D

Seriously if you would like to chat about some OME options I have all the 4Runner options here in stock including the new Nitrocharger Sport shocks that have replaced the older Nitrochargers. Give me a ring.
