I agree. I'm stll running the straight axle as well, and mine also still has the drum brakes, too. Just did an overhaul on the spring bushings, a good set of gas shocks, front and rear sway bars, and a steering stabilizer. I'm also running radial tires (Michelin). Truck handles very well, with just a bit of a push going into the turns. I do run it at highway speeds.
