I haven't had it off-road yet, but the on road is a bit stiff.  When on 65 up north of 44 or on 60 going e into Springfield you can feel the bump da-bump.  I think thats mostly because your going about 50-55 and the road has lots of seems in it.  Around the neighborhood and on more of a highway its been fine.  I'm getting the allignment today so I'll tell you how it runs when I get that done.  So far the ride seems do-able, not anymore lean than before.  I DO love riding way up there looking down on other cars.  I looked over into an Escalade yesterday and that put a grin on my face.

jeeps need attention, i've always found the more i take mine off road the better it rides.  it always drives smoother after a day of wheeling.  get it out and flex it and it will loosing up.

Remember, unless you've had it adjusted, you're traveling a lot faster than the speedo says.  Bigger tires=faster.
