[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1017155, member: 58988"] One would have to define what is "real world driving"; could be different for each person. I have the Rancho RS9000XL. That one change made a huge positive difference in handling, on- and off-road. I previously had a truck with the front lifted about three inches leaving only two inches of down travel. Off-road, fast in a turn, hitting bump would cause the front suspension to top-out, the wheels to be pulled off the ground and the front to slide. Not a good outcome. Maybe for a given driving style, a certain setup is fine, but there is no guarantee this will be the case for any other setup. Same is true for my earlier post - might not be the case for every setup, but suspension geometry and physics don't fail. Simple fact - to have optimal traction, the tires have to stay on the ground.
