It would move around due to the short wheelbase , but i think it made me better as a driver . The truck really reacted to "jerk shift" and the break over point or point of no return ( when sideways) was quicker than a longer truck . Tire pressure was pretty critical as sidewall flex was important . The truck didn't have power steering so you either had to man handle it , chop it ONCE , or lift . Most of the time i would just make the shift and the loss of torque would bring it back in line even if i shifted early . It was a fun truck .

Got the new rim combo on the gray truck today and did a suspention lookover .
