Disconnecting your front sway bar will help keep those rear tires on the ground.

Disconnecting the sway bar will give the front end more flex which will keep the truck frame more level which will let the back end stay closer to the ground. It wont give more flex in the rear it will simply not require as much for the same obstacle since the front is taking up some of the "needed flex". Does that make sense?

your front sway bar helps stop your truck from swaying to the outside while your turning...stops body roll! it improves handleing but unless you drive like a bat out of hell then its not that important!

Is there a spring clamp around the pack? If so, loosen it a little bit. Helps the springs to fan out a little better and still keeps them in-line
