A Panhard Rod for the rear axle is the usual step. (Contact SUPER STEER). An anti-roll bar also (and the front bar moved up one step in size).
Remote reservoir shocks (FOX, KING or BILSTEIN). The step up from entry level non-remote.
MOPAR used to have a kit (1970s) that fitted a shock absorber from a plate under the axle mount along the upper forward part of the leaf spring to the front eye bushing. Had to do with axle tramp, but it’d help here, too.

The lack of a stock front sway bad has also been addressed. I installed a SWAY - 134 g-max-1" front-sway-bar for 89-93 3/4 and 1ton diesel
Custom shocks and custom rear panhard are on the wish list, will be going more tord a Watts link(link to wiki) insted of a panhard bar. And for salt flat speed runs will take Aeroheads advice and run a solid rod /jack screws in place of shock absorbers. The watts link has a more vertical motion, less head bobble as the suspension cycles . Both watts and panhard will work well with the planned 4 link that is in the design phase. This wi elevate the need for traction bars/snubbers.
