The most effective way to soften the ride is to soften the springs. Shocks only dampen the motion. Sway bars only increase the spring rate when cornering. I dropped the spring rate from 550 to 450 front. I dropped rear by 100 lbs as well. Just doing the front did not solve the seat of pants feel. I tried a 50 lbs. drop, but it wasn't enough. Tire pressure will help a little. Rubber bushings a very little. Sway bar diameter none. Softer compression setting on shocks some. Shocks rebound very little. Tire aspect ratio some. My 2 cents worth.
