Hey, thanks Tom!

What effects have you noticed since you installed it in regard to street
handling, cornering, noise, tire wear, other side effects -- the usual
stuff? Any info greatly appreciated.

My needs are more for slick surfaces (rain/snow) and the occasional
dirt-road camping trip than for off-roading. Traction sucks in these trucks
as far as anything but dry pavement goes (stock tires)! What conditions did
you get it for, mainly?
