Sorry I misunderstood- FWIW I am running bilstein sport HD shocks, steinjager sways (larger front bar) w/ 3 piece heim links, I also replaced inner/outer tie rods all 4 corners more for advance maintenance but I also noticed reduced wheel hop probably because all the bushings were worn and dry rotted (sway bar bushings included). I imagine replacing ball joints with something beefier or more "responsive" like moog MAY help too w/ keeping good contact.

I think at the end of the day you'll notice the biggest difference from tires on a C5Z IMO
