OK, first off, you don't need another car. If you're worried about reliability, don't be. Good systems last well over 100k miles when done properly. Secondly, why do you think it'll be worse? You're spending too much time with the rice boys. Give me your car for 1 wekend. I'll have that thing sit'n frame and riding as comfortable as it does now. Granted, I don't sleep that weekend, but it gets done. With the right setup that car can retain very close to stock ride. In some cases better, but heavy cars like these need big bags. The biggest mistake I made was wasting $800 on a pair of shockwaves and drop spindels for my Fleetwood. That and being cheap and running water cooler hose instead of air line. Long story, leason learned

. 2500lbs bags aren't enough fo those cars and the spindels didn't give it enough travel. So it got a little bouncy when it was aired up. Now 2600lbs bags and relocated shocks done right, Solid. Good shocks help too. If you're not into a stupid fast system, you can make these things really comfy. For me 3/8 line and ports is perfect. Even then they fall like bricks when you air down. And when they hit it hurts. Your kidneys will not be happy with you. Honestly, there's compromises in everything, but done right it can be brought to a minimum.
