That's what I did! .........I left the weaker of the 2 sway bar springs in the rear! It still get tons of front articulation and the rear can still be forced in major "loaded up" situations!!

thanks

right rear, passenger side rear you want to stiffen
Always view sides as if your sitting in the drivers seat

It leans to the left, put the stiffer spring in the left rear.

Yes left rear has lean on it when under load (torque twist ?) so i put right front firm spring in left rear ,heaps better also put softer torsion bar in the rear but i might remove it agian as it stops articulation somewhat ,your forcing the rear wheels to articulate which unbalances truck (fall over more).
thanks vipxj

I put the thicker one in the rear and went to 90wt oil. Works perfect.

He said he has the thicker one in the back, as do I, and that works great.

I also put the stiffer springs in back.

Leave the front torsion bar off.
