I have Kings, so not much I can do better. Honestly it's more to do with suspension geometry in the rear. The rear of the Grenadier hikes significantly under braking. This is exasperated by even small lift amounts. Soft rear springs do not help either. This condition is not necessarily a design flaw by Ineos but more a side effect of modern design

I am considering moving to 500lb rear springs and even possibly the HD Eibach sway bars.

But lower power steering pressure will make the steering less reactive and the truck more stable. One finger steering is fun on a hard core rock crawler, but they get damn twitchy driving down the road. I find the Grenadiers steering to be way too light. This is a different condition to the stock steering stabilizer.

If people, wanting a level truck, used springs in the rear that LOWERED the rear 1.5" , instead of using springs that raised the front, you'd get a little shy of 1* or 30% more effective caster as the truck would "pivot' downward with the center of the front axle being close to the pivot point. Buy the HD rear springs and cut them.

But that's not what I want. The Grenadier in stock form is too low to the ground front and rear. Might as well be any other 4wd SUV at stock height.
