I haven't witten the html for my install page yet, but
I do have some initial observations on the handling of
the truck now, and they are exactly as you state
above. The biggest improvement is how the truck seems
more "planted" on the road. It just feels more solid
and stable. The other day I was getting a fair amount
of cross-wind (windows were down and I could hear the
gusts) but I couldn't feel a thing! I've been meaning
to tuck in behind an 18-wheeler on the freeway but
haven't had a good chance yet. Before when I would do
that I would get knocked around pretty good by the
wind turbulence. Nice improvement while hauling my
4wheeler around. Truck doesn't squat like it did and
it handles much better with the load. Before the
install the amount of body roll while carrying it was
scary. Felt like a boat. Most of that's gone now.
