Rear end likes to fly

Wasn't sure what else to title the thread, I think its hilarious. Anyways, Been driving around a lot lately and noticing the front end handles like a dream. It's smooth, comfortable and handles well. The rear end on the other hand is a different story. When taking turns I will notice the wheels will lift off the ground and its even worse if I go over a bump. Once I hit a bump the rear end almost does not want to return to Earth. I'm aware its a truck, and a light truck at that. Does anyone have tricks up their sleeves to help prevent this?

I hear a ton of squeaking and banging from the rear as well. I think the struts are gone or one their way out. It gets rough over bumpy roads, some weight in the rear may help that. Although I wouldn't know where to put it without taking up Bedspace. I think they are cheap $25 replacements that where put on there before I bought it. I'm thinking about replacing them with these. Not sure if they are appropriate. I don't haul much if anything. I just want a smoother ride in general. I have been browsing the sticky in this section and forums in general. I would like to add a rear sway bar at some point, anyone know what years and models would bolt into a 04 RWD Ranger? I can add it to my list of stuff to look out for at the JY.
