As said ,no doubt about IS. I just got back a few days ago from a 5 day hunting trip . Here's an example of the bad road I was on ,is was 22 miles of washboard . I have a leaf spring suspension . I have the six point level up, but have added at the very rear some manual screw down stabilizer jacks , welded a plate to the receiver hitch plates on each end, that are bolted to the frame , and bolted the jacks on that added plate. When I got home one of those jacks ,and screwed itself partially down ,never had that happen before ,I always put a bit pressure on them to make sure they are tight . That suspension took more punishment in those 22 miles ,then most do on thousands of miles of pavement.

I am firm believer that suspension upgrades work, no need for thousands of dollars worth of suspension. . As they say the proof is in the pudding
