Sway bars and offroading

Hey guys, I do about 80% paved 20% offroad (nothing severe). I would like for my F150 to "carve" the curves just a little better. I know I need to replace the shocks but do you think adding a rear sway bar and possibly going to a larger one on the front would help that much? How much would adding the sway bars affect my offroading?

personally, I don't think a anti-sway bar belongs on a 4x4, unless you have a large truck camper in the bed.

Consider doing a "add a leaf". It will stiffen the rear so you have less body roll, and less front end dive. The truck will have more load capacity to reduce a sagging rear end under load, and still have full height travel. And add a leaf's will cost less than half of price of a anti-sway bar. JMHO
