Word. But they don't flex like a proper linked setup, either. Depends what you're doing with the rig, I suppose.
Thats exactly right. Most are driven daily and do loong miles to a destination. Road handling is just as important as offroad. The same geometry applies to the pavement as to the tracks. A truck that drives as well as stock and has 3/4 of the travel a linked suspension does was the goal. And even then offroading it gives far more feedback to the driver.
