Truck just doesn't handle as good. I like the center of gravity as low as possible.
Tex has a very good point, it depends on what your into. I ran super stiff springs for big jumps and bashing only...works great. If you driving style is more like general racing..you will not like how it handles.
Keep in mind w/ a 4 shock truck you will need thicker oil and somewhat stiffer springs compared to an 8 shock truck. Generally you will also want to run a little bit higher rate spring in the rear to compensate for the engine wieght (especially if your running a mid or big block)
