Handles a ton better. Much happier with the handling.
Ride is rougher though, and curiously it is more bouncy. Corners flatter. Feels like it's on rails through the corners.

Front has adjustable spring perch (threaded type)
Rear has flipped leaf, leaf is absolutely flat.
Tires are smaller, lower profile, changed from 23.2" tall to 19.1". That's a two inch drop just due to tires.

Probably more bouncy in front due to stiffer spring rates. As long as there is still road holding and traction you're ok.

Flipped leaf- it does feel softer some what but handling improves I found. The utes have a tendency to get bouncy when lowered I found in mine when unladen and lowered.

Enjoy it dd. looks great

Needs wider wheels to suit the flared guards.

Yes, wider wheels or less offset to make them stick out further.
