The rear gets hung up on lightly bumpy roads especially in turns, it skips and thumps like a live axle...but less so in the summer.. 
I'm trying to find a solution.....but everything I've searched so far has not given me a clear answer with pics (gotto love visual aids  )...or at least a tried solution along with where to get it..but I guess that should be another thread.. 
I've even given some thought of buying oem replacement for the whole rear suspension with only the Hyper/AGX/Progress.. 
Ohh..well..

Did you do ES bushings on the rear trailing arm? If so, you have suspension bind. You should change the trailing arms back to OEM bushings, even if you have to buy pre-owned trailing arms.

You may be correct. I will do a search on this one. As you can see, I did not include much on the JGY diff. I do understand that the JGY and Phantom grip are very similar in both execution and function.
I will figure it out and get it fixed in the thread.
EDIT: Fixed for now, to at least be accurate. I will dig up some threads on JGY's LSD as well. Gracias!
Hell, I still can't figure out what the hell a mechanical differential is vs. a VLSD. And I'm putting together the suspension thread.

Please clarify for me your statements.
1) So...no harness with just a harness bar? You should have a full roll bar and race bucket if you are going to use a harness? Then what is the point of a harness bar? You should only use a harness bar if you have a roll bar and race bucket?
2) Uh....yup.
I think I am missing something, I know you are light-years ahead of me mechanically. Please elucidate further sir, keep in mind my high ignorance level.
ROAD MAGNETS: I am still awaiting some form of proper testing as you gentlemen are discussing. And/or very knowledgeable folks giving direct feedback after having driven with the springs on the car. I'll quote them, Bennitto, you qualify.
I know Road Magnets would work fine with CSK's. I am also confident they would be better than any of the other commercially available springs. The H&Rs, Pro Kit, and Tokicos all drop the car from 1.25 to 1.3 inches front and back. Those springs would definitely only work with CSK's and do NOT have a high enough spring rate to be used effectively with OEM length dampers and that drop.
With stock length dampers and Road Magnets there is a legitimate concern. While the front spring rate is up 25 pounds (12%) over the Hyperco's, Road Magnets lose an extra half-inch of the suspension travel. Doesn't sound like much until you realize that another half-inch drop over the Hypercos is 25% of the remaining travel.
The jury is still out, test away gentlemen.
