Firestone R4tech suspension

Anyone currently running this suspension in their truck ?
Have 1 question when unloaded with the suspension soft does the truck tend to cab roll when cornering ?

Probably rides great. If I was a heavy hauler I'd just use the air bags. Because if your air fails, your screwed. If you tow once in the while, and want a car type feel, give it a chance. Its not for me. It seems more show to me. My 2 cents. Report back if you go for it. You could change our mines, or at least mine. God Bless,
Chet
