Like I said before, it seems a little bit bumpier because of the shorter wheel base. Is this my imagination or is it physics?

Have any of you guys who cut your frame experienced this?

It is not terrible but I can feel a difference. I can't wait to do a 2/4 drop, some new shocks and put on some sway bars. I am not looking for corvette handling, just a better look and a little better ride.

I've always heard that the longer the wheelbase, the smoother the ride especially with trucks.
