Hard to say - depends a lot on weight, driving style, setup, etc.

In stock configuration, I never tried anything other than the factory oil. Even without the swaybars it seemed to work fine for me. If it's too "floppy," anywhere from 30-50wt should do.

Remove the swaybars.....they really limit articulation. Try the front first and see how it does.
