the ride is way smoother, traction is better, and the cornering and handling are better also. You can adapt bags or coil overs rather easily also. Makes for a nice corner carver....
I believe there are guys running 9's and 10's in the quarter mile with the stock arms.
That is the whole reason for me. I have seen some fast trucks launch really hard with that suspension set-up. I can get a good suspension for next to nothing and be able to go from strip to street duties rather easily.
