Hi Bob (and all)

In a message dated 96-09-25 10:47:15 EDT, you write:

Reference B): All drivers were: Me, Myself and I...

Weight distribution with the way I drive equipped is perfect, especially with
the smaller block, full size spare in the back, two trunk mounted two-way
radios there as well, plus about 280 lbs. of safety and photo equipment....

Only mods are polyurethane bushings on the front anti-roll bar...

Also, the car is *not* the civilian version - it's the heavy-duty - the
*only* version I would even consider for longer than 1 millisecond!

Hope this helps you understand! Actually, I prefer the simpler movements of
the rear end while cornering...
