It is after all..........A Suburban and a Truck. Driving my suburban with the old suspension was soft and squishy. Now it drives firm and controlling, not harsh, but there is more control especially around corners and stuff. You don't have to wait for the vehicle to catch up to the steering wheel where you want to put the vehicle. You want soft and pillow like, buy a full size car with coils
