This truck rides OK if the roads are pretty good. On the rougher roads it can be a handful. I had removed leafs out of the spring packs to get to the stance I wanted.

Had I installed new springs when I installed the axle, I am told it would be much better.

I plan on driving him like he is until fall and then I am thinking about an IFS and IRS system on air.
