On the front axle there is a bump stop on drivers and passenger side.
The Hellwig rear sway bar was recently redesigned and it a great addition. It will help your ride quality. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

You won't need any of them or the bar unless you are a race car driver and it bottoms out (or towing with equalizer bars). The bar is actually a step back because it just throws you around more in the cab on uneven bumps/dips. Removing the front stops actually gives you more clearance in the front and many rear ones are missing with no ill effects.
I prefer to have the bump stops out partly because I can tell when it actually does bottom.

Mine doesn't roll but if you think it is a problem rear sway bars will help but no shocks will do anything for roll. Yes it is OK to drive without the bump stops, and if you have no spring wrap problem and no bottoming problem you won't need them. There is actually less chance of bottoming in the front without them because they compress to about 1/2"+- and bottom at that point so if the occasional "whack" noise doesn't bother you, leave them out.

I doubt if those tires will work but maybe someone will chime in and the shocks won't affect body roll due to the time factor (roll vs vertical bumps).
