Very true, the taller the tire, the greater the sidewall deflection and roll, which will exacerbate the added body roll inherent with a lift. I am currently running 38 front and 42 rear. I also have the HD springs in the rear that reduced the roll substantially and the piggyback shocks helped mitigate it a bit. You can effect body roll through multiple avenues. You can change the joints to spherical instead of bushings. You can change shocks, ideally to remote reservoirs with adjustable compression and rebound. You can change the weight of the springs or their type, whether single rate or progressive, coilovers with true dual rate and helper springs would be ideal. You could get bigger wheels to reduce sidewall while maintaining size but you’ll sacrifice comfort and offroad capability for on road handling. The only free thing you can really effect is tire pressure to stiffen the tire, but you’ll sacrifice comfort and potentially cause uneven wear or flightiness.
I would highly advise against maxing out the caster beyond 1.5 as this will push the CV driveshaft beyond its already tight tolerance.
