The brace will conquer the body roll famously.  I bet the 4kq would
benefit from a rear brace as well, but it occurs to me that my 2wd coupe
doesn't have rear struts to brace anyway...  

If I had a 4kq I would raise it, not lower it, to clear stumps, drifts,
medium size animals, and other assorted detritus...
