Well there is a Factory installed option called X-REAS which works GREAT to reduce body roll.
Since that isn't an aftermarket option I'd suggest something like Coilover shocks but I'm not too knowledgable about them.
Perhaps someone else will chime in with more info or you could do a search on this site.

there are no coilovers or sway bars availible for 4runners. I have heard that there are JDM lowering springs.

With the 2006 Sport it already has Xreas suspension which is probably is the best you can get on this truck, also this is a truck and not a WRX. It's never going to haandle like that or even come close IMO.

I know that my 4runner will NEVER handle like my wrx but I was just wondering if there are any aftermarket parts that would reduce body roll.

I believe what you are looking for is a tie-bar.
Sway bars and coil overs only increase suspension stiffness.
I cant look at my 4runner right now to see if the upper shock towers havce easy to access mounting points. Might be a decent do it your self item.
Just a bit of measuring, cutting, drilling and welding.

Could be way off on this suggestion but I noticed much less roll when I added my air bags.

I driven alot of SUV's and cars (has have many people). The 4Runner handles better than almost any other SUV I've driven. The X-REAS reduces the body roll to almost nothing compared to other trucks.
I'm not sure what you were expecting but if you think an X-REAS equipped 4Runner has too much body roll then you might want to switch back to cars.

GAH!!!! I don't think you guys get what I'm asking or saying....
I'm not saying that the 4runner has a horrible ride or that it has TONS of body roll... I SIMPLY want to know if there are any aftermarket parts that will reduce body roll because I don

Like i said homey (i come from performance driving background) there are no Strut bars, sway bars or coil over systems availible. The best option you have is to look into the lowering springs.

I was looking down this route before.
comming from a lowered car on JIC magic's.
but you know... running over pot holes are much more fun than a quick jerk on the steering wheel accompanied by a clinching of the ass cheeks hoping that you avoided it.
might need to go the custom route for this.
