Upgrading stock suspension for customizable ride

As the title says, I want to upgrade the shocks but keep a stock height. What I'm interested in a bit less rebound in the rear and a bit more damping. Are there any adjustable shock bodies out there for this application? I don't really want a lift, maybe an inch on the outside of raised height. In this same vain, are there any companies that make uprated swaybars. And no, I'm not trying to make a track monster, just something that will improve the ride, roll in the corners. As it is now, the chassis is overwhelmed before the tires are close to breaking out. I prefer this to be to opposite reaction in cornering. Also on dirt roads, I would like a bit more control on the rear of the car, I can dial most of it out with a good front and rear spring rating and a thicker swaybar an a good set of shocks. I would also like the adjustablity of spring and dampening rates. I have race car experience, setting up suspensions to preform to my liking. I guess if you made it thru this wall of text any suggestions or kits, or shock manufacture options would be most helpful.
Cheers.

Addco is the only brand of sway bars made for our trucks. Icon makes front coilovers and rear shocks that you can adjust for your preference.

There is NO need to buy a "stronger" swaybar.

And BTW I highly doubt how much stronger that aftermarket one really is.

I've taken off my front sway bar to repaint it and trust me it is SOLID STEEL.

I've been wheeling my truck for over 10 years, personally, this same exact truck, and I can tell you my sway bar has never been bent the slightest bit.

In fact I can assure you that the sway bar mounts would probably sheer off the frame or the links would break before the bar would bend significantly.

If anything you will want to buy stronger 1" extended front sway bar links. You should be able to find them for $100 - $150 / pair.
