Yes. As would stiffer shocks or higher side-ply tires like the pirelli scorpions. :)
If you want to realy stiffen up your highway ride use RS-9000 adjustable shocks.
They can be adjusted either on the shock or with a remote mounted air system.

Up-Country := taller springs and stiffer shocks plus a few other bits (tow hooks, etc)

Quick disconnects are ran only on the front. Disconnecting both sway bars
will result in a vehicle that tips over very easily and will tend to flop
from side to side on the trail.
