? for you guys on Bags

I've never ridden in a bagged truck. How does the ride compare to springs? I have a chance to buy bags at a good price and want to know about ride improvement and handling. I know what I've read, I want to here from some one who has them.

Thanks

It's an adjustable spring-rate, it can be like a smooth riding cadillac or a rough ride, you get to choose.

It can be a super nice ride if set up correctly. Also, if you use individual valves for each bag it can handle like a sports car.

She rides just fine, comfortable for a 1000 mile road trip last year.
