Secondly, is dirt entering the arm/hingpin hole, and causing friction. Clean those regularly, and perhaps even ream them till they move like butter. Lastly, is people tighten down the swaybar set screws too tight. Make sure the swaybar flops around freely in the holders.

Suspension bind, IMO, is the biggest issue to getting a truck to handle. When thats taken care of, shock tuning becomes much easier and the changes you make will be more readily apparent. I'd bet if I took 50 SCTE's from guys on this site, and tested them for bind in the suspension....only around 5 would pass. It's a big reason why so many people are so far apart on suspension settups
