Default Suspension upgrade for Crew

Hi guys -
Do you know if the R/T has larger diameter or is stiffer than the one on the Crew? I drove an R/T and the suspension was noticeably tighter and had less body roll. Springs I'm sure are the main diff, but a Crew with a beefier Sway Bar would be sweet. No after market stuff seems to be available.
I have a 2012 5.7L Crew with AWD and Tow Package.
Would LOVE part numbers or at minimum a source to find part numbers.
Thanks!

How about rt coils and rear swaybar swap?

Agreed - would like to put on R/T parts, but not even sure there is a difference in sway bar between the models. other threads aren't conclusive.
Part numbers or a way to find em for each model would be sweet.

I can say that the rt rear swaybar is 23mm, srt8 wk2 is 25mm. Use an open ended metric wrench to see what the crew is.

Fronts should be the same. If you snap a photo of the rear links I can get you confirmation. I've pulled coils and rear swaybar/ links off mine and could probably put you in them for the right price.

On the Crew now:
34.66MM bar in front (call it 35mm depending on how/where you measure)
25MM in the rear

Anyone have a caliper/ micrometer that could check their R/T bar diameters?
I'm beginning to suspect that there is NO diff between Crew 5.7L AWD Tow package and R/T regarding sway bars....

You positive the rear is 25mm on the crew? I have mic'd the rt rear and it's 23mm for sure.
