Depends on your suspension setup. If it was already too stiff and the frame flex "soften" the ride, then stiffening the frame would cause it to ride stiffer. When you can get the frame flex under control, you can then setup the suspension to work as it should but you might end up with softer spring rates and different valving in the shocks. The biggest thing about eliminating frame flex is you allow the suspension to actually do what it's supposed to be doing.
Most companies figured this out in the '90's and started to stiffen up the frames. Look at a modern day truck and those frames are seriously beefy.
