I am pretty happy with the way the truck handles, i have mounted the bags as far outboard as possible both front and rear and am running short Koni adjustable shocks. It also runs an adjustable parallel four link rear end with an adjustable watts link set up. Just to give you an idea i did run it at Sydney Powercruise this year and kept up with some cars that i originally thought would not be possible, i was quite surprised. I find the ride acceptable for a daily, basically the more pressure you run the firmer it gets. When setting up you need to work out your optimum driving height and make sure when you install the bag it's at it's optimum working pressure/height. If that makes sense. Most guys, especially with minitrucks are aiming to go as low as possible but this will never give you good handling. I tried to find a happy medium with my truck. I think the reason people have the impression bags handle like a boat is because most guys use a cantilever setup on the rear of their trucks and these setups usually do handle like boats. Hope this helps Cheers Dean
