Thanks!

It reduces the amount of body lean/roll when cornering. It improves the handling because of this.
Most plain jane trucks did not have them. Most 3/4 tons will, especially those equipped with camper shells as these were naturally top-heavy beasts.

I think everybody agrees that it's a good cheap upgrade to do...and it's CPNE approved.
