no 1/2 hour fix but longer leaf springs with flatter shackle angles or 3 link it mate, try and avoid radius arm setups they give a good ride but typically no so good flex
. They're pretty short and narrow wheelbase so getting the wheels pushed out in all directions improves stability and flopability

The rear springs are longer and if you modify the chassis to fit them in the front this will be a big improvement for ride comfort and flex, for best results get 4 new lifted rear springs. EFS springs will give the most height (around 3") or old man emu will be around 2". This is a write up on the rear springs up front conversion, commonly known as RUF or Rears Up Front.
