Flip came flying past us crawling towards Kerkenberg, he must have been doing 120mph plus.

It is called inflating wheels before you hit the hard top…

I had a similar problem with a brand new 2014 ford Everest.
Ride was nice and plush but would get a bit out of shape on road undulations or tight corners on mountain passes.
Loads of body roll. More like sailing than driving....
After a back and forth with ford getting everything checked and tested it was no better.

I pulled one of the shocks out and found that the OEM shock has almost no compression damping and the wheel is controlled by rebound damping only.
Since found out that this is common with most over the counter car shocks you can get.

After looking at adjustable aftermarket shocks and cringing at the prices, I found that Amada Extreme shocks are just about equal compression and rebound damping. So fitted a set of those.
Night and day difference in the handling. Lost some of the plushness but now has a planted feeling which I prefer.

While you are having the rest of the steering and suspension components checked, pull a shock out and see if you have any reasonable compression damping on the shocks you now have.
A shock with more compression damping might help a lot in controlling the body roll (if all the other components are still in good order)

Another thing to consider is your tyre pressures.
You have gone up in tyre size and might have more sidewall flex/roll.

Are you still running the stock pressures in the larger tyres?
Maybe try raising the pressure 0.1 bar and see if that makes any difference to the handling

Any good Aftermarket shock would cause an improvement.
Not sure I'd shortlist Amada though....

Not necessarily, depends on how the shock is designed.
I was looking specifically for more compression damping.
Other shocks that I looked at were mainly rebound biased in the over the counter types.
There is quite possibly more alternatives , just what I found....
