For a truck, it corners on rails. I've taken a corner here post at 50mph, at 90 mph. My courage ran out before the grip did. I don't miss being higher, I prefer the truck this way, and I can still see over every car. I feel fine driving it, its stiffer than a stock F150, considerably, but it handles like a large sports car. My wife doesn't like it on back roads because its a little bumpy, but doesn't mind it on the highway.

Note sure about the mileage, I have no hard data, but its logical to assume it would help mielage a little, since lifting generally decreases mileage.
