Default body rolling

i woke up a little bit late for work this morning so i had to drive really fast to get to work on time and noticed i got some body roll going on. is pretty much the only way to help that out is a bigger sway bar?

How old are your tires/what are they inflated to/what model and size tires are they?

Those tires aren't really meant for cornering abilities. You may have worn springs/leafs, check those out. Sway bar install maybe needed.

you aint seen body roll in a dakota till you take a 25 mph on ramp at closer to 50...
actually, it wasnt that bad, but yea, its a truck bigger sway bar, or replce some suspension components,
a 4-way coil-over setup would solve it real good...
