I replaced my stock bags with the Sully System a few weeks ago. I really hadn't noticed any difference.....until today. There is a freeway on ramp on the way back from my father in law's house. It is a lazy S-curve, and in the past I had to take it at 35 mph to avoid excessive body roll. Today after our visit I shot that curve a 50 mph, and I think I would have been just as comfortable at 60.

Thanks David. I too have noticed that yellow and black corner speed suggestions are just that. I can easily add 10 mph to them.

It would be really interesting to measure the wheel rates (spring rate) on all of the available suspension designs. I've always felt that the rear roll rate of the GMC is too low in the rear. In fact I recall that one of the few non OEM changes that Cinnabar will perform is to add rear roll bars for that reason. The wheel rates affect both the roll rate and the ride frequency. This data might explain why people like certain systems.
