Looking at how these are set up, don't they affect the rearend travel quite a bit? Is this the point? lol

I guess what I am worried about is the regular suspension travel in straight aways going over bumps.

I've never heard of suspension travel being a problem. They been using them in so many different cars and are now being installed on late model 4x4 trucks, I don't think it would cause a problem.

I would think it would be a rougher ride. Also, what about when loaded down in the back?

yeah, your truck will ride rougher, but if your going to be hauling a heavy load its going to give you more contol by keep your weight from shoving the back of the truck around as much. this will make it more stable and safer.
when I first got my license all i drove was stuff made just for cornering, with all the stiff springs and big swaybars. Stuff like that rides about like a tractor, but its damn sweet cutting corners

over straight bumps the bar will pivot in the two center bushings, if you look at one under a truck and study it you will see how it works., it only binds when the truck sways/leans
