My buddy took them off because he said they made his (07 Tundra) utility truck's ride feel "too mushy". And he didn't like the way the truck handled during spirited lane changes, emergency stops and banking on high speed freeway transitions. (He lives in SoCal by the way.)

He said they were good for reducing the harshness of the ride, but the trade off in handling safety wasn't worth it to him since he's always hauling heavy equipment and materials. He also went with SuperSprings after I recommended them, and he said they solved his problems. A little stiffer ride, but much better handling.

Please bear in mind that he doesn't have a typical stock factory bed. He's got a utility bed with a heavy overhead rack and tool boxes hanging on the outside of where our normal beds stop, and he's hauling a lot of extra weight, so this is not your typical daily commuter truck.
