This can't be needed)
The point is the truck is tunable without throwing a bunch of extra crap at it (IE swaybars, mollasses diff fluid up front) and all cars are like that. Not enough rear traction? Don't add weight to the rear, just move what you got as far back as possible. Can't get it far back enough? Change your thought process, IE saddle packs in the rear.
There's a lot in this truck. Sure, swaybars help, but adding them to prevent an inside-rear tire lift is counterproductive to your setup.
very good comment

first of all, when trying to make the car handle better, just begin with what you have. and get to know the truck and how it handles without upgrades.
I did put on the sways in front and rear, and did the washers under the ballstuds, gave the truck toe-in on the front, made al kinda changes to get some less steer. but now, no washers, sway only in front, no-more toe-in on the front just 5K rear-diff and 7k front diff.
this car is soooooooo good. and we dont need to change that much of the set-up to get it right..
