Question shocks or swaybar bushings ??

00 f-150 4x4...
not sure if i need shocks or bushings ? When i sit in the truck I can make the whole thing rock like a boat just by wiggling in the seat ...im only a 140 lbs !

The shocks are reflex's about 5yrs old w/ maybe 20k on them ....no leaks.
bar bushing org..new links.

I plan on letting the truck go next summer but wondering if i put a set of monroe gas-matics on it if it would stiffen up the rollie feel...or is it the bushings in the sway bar ?

bounce test let's it recover decent but very easy to get it to body roll side to side. Bumps dont make it feel bouncy just alot of roll.

My goal is to make the truck last another yr . I already need to replace uppers and lowers , along with steering components to get things tighten back up, but not have to throw the bank at it for one more yr of use, but want it safe and dependable.

I can get a vid of the bounce/roll action if it would pin point the determination

If you need shocks, I put on Bilsteins and the ride is unbelievable. Got them off ebay about $250 for 4 and $20 each to install at pepboys and used a 50% off coupon, $10 eash to install.
