how do you make the chassis more stiff without making the ride more stiff?
elementary knowledge level please.

C4 Verts should have an X-brace from the factory. The factory brace not only attaches to the corners of the frame, it also is bolted to the floor pan in (IIRC) 6 places; 3 bolts go thru the floor pan on each brace.

Camber brace would be the first step, there are rollbars available from other places than RD and that would be the 2nd step.
Larger sway bars would also help somewhat.
