Making it yours is worth about 10 points in the "feel good" area. I remember when I got my new Ked's sneakers as a kid, I could actually run faster and turn corners faster!

Maybe the feeling is from the front end riding a bit higher? I do remember when I picked up a load at Home Depot, the back was loaded down and the truck sat level (as designed). It handled differently....

Gotta love the little keyboard warriors! ?
Imagine someone comes on here and says "man, my truck handles better ever since i added that winch" or "my truck is faster now on bigger heavier tires"
Pointing out to that person that this makes no sense is not keyboard warrioring. It's just stating the impossible.

If they put in longer LCA's then I could see it. I noticed the extra caster even with mine leveled and it is nice. Outside of that or shocks, I dunno.

Leveling kit rarely affects ride.

That being said, I would think a 2.5 inch spacer kit would require longer upper LCA's control arms at a minimum.....

EDIT: bad typing lol

It doesn't. With a 2.5 inch kit you can pretty much leave the stock control arms on. I got 3-1/4 inches of lift on Mine and all I did was put Geo Brackets on the lowers. Uppers are good to go still. Mine rides and drives great but still not as good as stock but pretty good riding on 37's.
