I can see why this must be a bit frustrating, when the vehicle is supposed to already have the enhanced suspension features, but I do have something that can help you. You can add the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4164 to help add some leveling, and will fix the sway (jello like feeling you described) on your 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser. These are easy to install and they'll provide you with a certain level of customization since the air bags can be filled to provide as much or little support as you like.

I've linked a review video of these parts for you to have a look at.
