Lift vs. V/B

Anybody here done the V/B swap and also lifted an Ex or done them on two seperate Exs ? Just wondering how they compared as far as ride, stability etc

particularly interested in anybody who has done V/B with drop shackles to run 35s

How about, v code front, rear 350 blocks with RoadMaster active suspension.

Verses my new to me EX, with a 5in all leaf lift?

I love the v codes, the ras and helwig took care of the rear even though I had the F350 blocks.

To me the difference was like driving a porshe(firm, solid feel, no flexing) but still not bone jarring. Now my ex with 5in lift is like driving a range rover. ( not as tight, feels a little top heavy, not as assertive).

I felt a ton of confidence driving my old ex! New one is great but I drive it like an SUV rather than an 8000lbs sports car.

I hope this helps,
Michael
