Sure, I understood that part, and I agree (I think - I'm no expert) about suspension. But what I'm thinking about is not suspension so much as it is (if you'll excuse me slipping into airplane-speak here) the pitch and yaw moments of the body itself. Seems that a short- coupled Jeep or dune buggy would have a lot more of that sort of motion.

Maybe it'd be clearer if you think about why a road grader produces a much smoother surface than a dozer.
