If you compare the wheels on the picture, the Chevy RR wheel is about 16" above the ground, Ford's about 8". That where the suspension travel shows.
Stiff A/S bar would make the travel smaller so everything needs to be in balance.
You gain in one aspect, loose on the other.
You could weld the Ford axles to the frame then the tires on the Ford and Chevrolet would be the same distance from the ground. With a welded axle to the frame I would say you have no suspension travel.
You have confused suspension travel with frame flex.
Sounds like you are saying Ford's frame flexed 8" more than Chevy's frame.
It ain't so.
