Our truck was scaled before it left the shop and we made it as equal as we could, particularly the rear. Absolutely NO preload. We have coilovers at all 4 corner, so we worked hard to get as even as we could. We have an anti-roll bar and it is set neutral as is 4 link. Truck goes down track like it's on rails.
Make sure you have a good alignment on the front, too. We have 2" dropped front spindles. We have tubular upper control arms from Speedway Motors, Part # 91034393-L . They are listed for the G-body and are the 1/2" longer than stock units. They correct the camber. Use the extended upper ball joints such as Proforged 101-10021. These correct the ball joint angle so they don't pop apart. If you use these control arms you will need travel limiters also.
Go to Tim McAmis' website and watch his videos several times to help understand setting up 4 link. I wouldn't use the setup he uses, unless you have about 2500HP.
