when i take a turn onto an onramp and accelerate, it doesn't bounce all over the place.
i've owned 2 lifted SUV's and 1 lifted pickup in my life. one is a Bronco II that would make "consumer reports" **** a brick sideways. none of them handled great. in fact, they handle like crap compared to just about any car. but i prefer the "feel". i like ground clearance, better visibility, and a stiffer ride. i have never been in a situation where a car would have handled an evasive maneuver any better. i've been run off the road, airborne, drove in dallas during rush hour, the mountains of northern new york in the dead of winter, and have had little brats run out in front of me. i just drive my vehicles within their limits. i learned a long time ago that being in a big hurry just makes life go by faster.
