Been driving it the past few days. The ride didn't really change to much, maybe a little softer if anything cause I guess with the added lift I get just a touch of body roll in the turns. Since my 84 mini truck is manual steering also and this has been manual steering i forgot how nice power steering was. But I feel I traded one kinda scary ride for another. Highway speeds and then getting on the brakes pretty good for red lights is some kinda sketchy. Caught me off guard the first time and all but changed lanes because of having the power steering and over correcting to easily. (DISCLAIMER) Im running over anything that runs out in the road, animal, human, Tyrone, this thing is one quick jerk from being in a ditch on its lid.
