Logically a lifting & slipping inside rear wheel would a classic symptom of an insufficient rear anti-roll bar.
Why not go with a larger rear anti-roll bar? It would cut down on rear roll obviously, keeping more weight on the lifting & slipping inside rear tire, keeping the rear (and whole) of the car flatter.
Which ever end of the car has the stiffest anti-roll characteristic will lose traction first.
