It feels a *little* nose heavy. A little more of the Scout "kick* in the rear end, but that may be due to the worn-out rear spring bushings.
The ride on washboard roads is smoother.
Be interesting to see how it effects the trail manners of my Scout, but alas, the trails are under a few feet of snow.
I will post any negative effects (like spring sag) for our collective edification.
