Keith,
I have lots of questions on the handling but I'll limit them down.
What would you compare the handling to? Does it handle as well as a sporty car? Do you have sway bars on it? Would you be comfortable throwing it into corners? I want the best of both worlds and I've talked to Nate lots and went with the Dropmember C4 to get better handling but I've never really talked to anyone that has driven a dropmembered truck IRL.
I know you haven't driven it much but anything you have to say would be helpful.
Thanks,

I'll try and answer a few:
-What would you compare the handling to? I've had 10 or so bagged cars and trucks and this one by far is the best riding and handling out of the bunch. Normally when I drive one of my bagged trucks I would ease around the corners to limit the body roll on this one after the first few turns I forgot I was in a bagged vehicle and drove it like I normally drive my 05 GMC.

-Do you have sway bars on it?
Yes I have Nates front sway bar, no rear bar.

-Would you be comfortable throwing it into corners? After I get all the little bugs worked out and find the right settings with the bags I wouldn't have a problem laying into some corners. Today I mainly focused on how low can I drive it without tearing anything up so the air pressure was low.

My next project might get coilovers

Hope this helps you.....
