P.S. good place to get the steel wheels? RN seems to have them but, I would be open to a used pair maybe even with tires already mounted.
Ask around on the various boards- I used to need 16" wheels pretty badly then all of a sudden I ran into a couple deals which fulfilled my needs for an eternity... Rovers Down South has them new, as does RN and all other dealers.

I am tempted to take the roofrack off and forget about it all together.
I just like the look and plan to utilize it... That should truely make it sway a bit. Just like when Fred Flintstone's car turns on it's side at the drivethru.
I take mine off whenever I am not using it- It usually only gets used for a canoe anyway. For anything heavy I have the M416 trailer.
People often overload roof racks and they can make a bad situation worse in a hurry. Off road they are just a menace IMHO.

Has a large and heavy rack on top. Tires are at pressure. Bushings are good.
I think I am going to try a changing to an offset rim (wolf) and see if that does it. Any idea on the offset maximum I shouls go with?
A wider offset won't hurt, but the body roll issue is more likely the movement between the body and the platform (i.e. springs, shocks, swaybars) and not so much the movement of the platform and the road. This assumes your tires are adequately inflated, but you say they are. The roofrack (especially loaded) will just increase the movement between body & frame
SWEET looking set-up! Now I'm jonesing to offer a guy $$ for the 109 that's been sitting unmoved in his backyard, roofrack equipped. JimCT you're a trouble-maker!
