Any input on this?

Body roll is a slow speed shock movement so as far as valving goes you'd be looking at potentially changing the coilover valving, not so much the bypass. I would talk to the guys at Icon as they will be able to give you some pointers and the direction to go based on how your shocks are setup now. It could be something as easy as adding a little preload, closing off a bleed screw in the piston or just changing a few shims to add some stability to the shock platform when cornering.

With the correct shock setup I see no need for a front sway-bar on the Raptor as it makes the front end less independent and adds spring rate.

Sway bar's pretty good at reducing body roll in one direction when the vehicle is suddenly upset from a level (from the yaw perspective) ride. IMO, it sucks for transitions (where vehicle direction changes dramatically), unless you had some ridiculously stiff sway bar. Best way to reduce body roll is to reduce CG (lower the truck) or jack up the rebound valving. Unfortunately, cranking up the rebound typically gives shit off road performance (high speed off road, not crawling).
