it makes a worlds difference! in every way, its better. you should gets some wicked 2+1 a-arms on ebay i think there like 425 shipped now i think. i have them and there real good. and for shocks, you should get some works dual rates w/ rezzies or some works tripple rates. there only about 400-500 all set-up the way you want them and they have a guarenty, if you dont like them within 30 days, you send em back and they'll rework/ respring them for free. and im gonna be getting a -1 roundhouse swinger, i've heard many good things about them and cant wait till i get mine!
