Angry Letdown.... like the O.J. Trial !!!!

Does anyone else besides me feel a "letdown"
I'm talkin about the whole "Sal" "PSP" "F-150 Online" issues !!!! I really miss comin home from work and reading about this "Saga" is that it.... is it over??? Dosn't it feel the same as when the Olympics come to an end, or like when the O.J. trial finnished???
I used to look forward to stoppin off at the market for some chicken or a steak.... and some adult spirits. Gonna go home fire up the BBQ.... have a little food and sign on and see some real life "Mud Slinging" online!!! Sorry people.... I kinda miss it !!! You can only get so much stimulation from reading about a pick-up truck with a blower on it.

Sorry.... I guess I bored !!!

Question

Do you see a significant improvement in handling since you installed the Roush suspension?

A few observations of mine.
The Roush suspension was designed for a 240 hp F-150 and I feel that the suspension is to soft for a 400 hp vehicle, especially in the front. It might just be that there Bilstien shocks are just undervalved. For a daily cruiser you couldn't ask for a better set-up , but if your gonna push it in the turns you might want a stiffer shock. When we get time were gonna put the stock front shocks back on and see if that helps.
If I were to do it again, I would do springs only (Like BABOLT did)
If your interested in having Roush west put springs on your truck, e-mail me privately and I'll tell you how to do it. It's not that straight forward because Roush and SVT are in bed together and Roush technicly is not supposed to work on SVT Lightnings.

Hey Dreamin,
I have actually sold my 2000L and have a 2001 on order. Sears does sound fun....although I'm more of a Road Race guy than a Drag Racer... but what the hell...could be fun !!
