Here's what I eventually did.... *Thanks for the advice everyone!
I went down to Toyota and had them swap my sway bars for the TRD bars (without tower braces), *Next, they swapped my springs for TRD high performance springs (1" down), my shocks for TRD performance shocks, did a wheel alignment, and tightened the steering. *All the parts and labour came in at about CDN $1750, at Dixie Toyota in Mississauga.
The body roll is now fully taken care. Everything is just great. *The ride is more comfortable than ever, now, due to the extra stability. One thing is gone, though, with the changes: *the go-cart-like nimble handling that was the hallmark of the stock version, especially around a tight intersection. *But it's more amazing than ever on the open road.
