Is it true that the torsion level system does not always play well with a firmer dampener?

It was the recommendation of Bob Allison, the man who developed the system, to NOT use heavy duty shock absorbers on TL cars; I believe he made this statement in later years. The 55/56 Packards with TL built for export (including Canada) did have heavy duty shocks, though "heavy duty" is a relative term.
