Default stiffer springs vs sway bar??

ok heres the deal guys, i have no way to change the dampening on my shocks , i only have one type of piston and one type of shock oil... the suspension at the front is kinda saggy , i dont know how to put it , imagine the springs are too soft and the shock oil is too thick and when im running my truck the suspension feels like it hardly ever moves, just stays at the uppermost travel and doesnt have time to come back down...

i have 1. a couple of sway bars of varying stiffness 2. a pair of stiffer springs , plus some spare pistons to stack on the shaft inside the shock to limit suspension travel

my reasoning is that , if i put only the sway bars, my suspension will be unchanged except the swaybar will make it as if my springs were stiffer when im going over rough ground or when im cornering, so it will fight against the dampening abit more, and it also helps me stop rolling over in corners
or if i use stiffer springs , it will also push against the dampening , but it pushes my truck too far up so i limit the suspension travel to stop it doing that, normally this method is meant to prevent rollovers and improve handling

what do you guys, who are more experienced than me, think?
