Assuming you have a 4WD truck, an easy mod to the front suspension is to install a front bar off of an SS or VHO truck (these bars are 1/8" bigger and about 60% stiffer than stock). The energy suspension pieces would be a great improvement too (Hotchkis kits use these parts).

You do need to do something to the front suspension, if you add a rear bar, otherwise you will change the "balance" - adding stiffness to the rear reduces understeer.

The Addco bar comes with Poly end links already. For $130, its a good idea.
