Default Hawkeye rear swaybar/rear spring question

I was hunting with a buddy, and we used his '04 330 Magnum to get around. I noticed his Magnum rides much smoother/softer than my Hawkeye. Is the swaybar the problem, or is the Hawkeye over sprung? If it is the springs, are there softer springs available?

Would unhooking the swaybar help any by allowing it to flex more? I have disconnects on the front swaybar on my Jeep, maybe I could make a set for the Hawkeye?

The Hawkeye rear suspension is totally adjustable, at least the 06 is. The tool kit contains a tool for this. All the info is in the owners manual. You can set it softer or harder.

All I know that can be adjusted is the spring preload. It is set at the "softest" setting now. I'm curious if the swaybar is forced to twist when either side of the suspension is compressed if unhooking it will allow one side of the rear to compress easier without it. And softening up the rear end.

Can't help ya with the sway bar question, others on the forum will respond. I'm 200 lbs and find the ride to be good. Maybe the weight is a good thing.
