well, here's what I noticed...
1) it's got more body roll, for obvious reasons, but only if you really try. I tested it out real quick on my drive to work; took a back road about 20mph, and jerked the wheel from left to right, and it leans a LOT more than is used to. But you really have to work at it to make it noticable. On the road and around corners I take every day, there's absolutely NO noticable difference.
2) It actually seems to ride a little better! The normal dips and bumps on the left or right hand side of the road that use to jar the whole truck are now just a little "thump", and the truck soars right over them at highway speeds
3) If you come accross a situation where the ground dips down obruptly (spelling), like at the edge of the concrete where a paved road turns into a dirt road, and there's maybe a 2-3 inch drop, and you hit it at and angle, the tire dips FAST to makeup for the unlevel ground difference, but hey, the truck doesn't rock to the side like it use to, so I say it helped the droop a little!
I'll leave her off for a while and see how I like it, and if I don't run into any problems, I'll leave it off permanently!
