if its fitted correctly will be fine
most handling comes down to tyres tread pattern and pressure in tyres
on the whole it dont matter what suspension if it`s lifted it changes the ride
just adjust your driving style to suit

Needs to do the daily commute in the winter ....50mile round trip, then some green lanes and fishing......
I realised my idea of green lanes was a bit different when a farmer up in teesdale asked how i had got me old micra up to the edge of a reservoir.......:blush:
I bought a pajero...................haha...really good ....except for 15 mpg....and the price of veg oil rocketed....so off it went.
Anyway me wife has a jimny now ......but its a bit nice and (expensive) for what i need....
I tend to keep my cars for a long time so i like decent motors....not really bothered about dents and interior....but like them pretty sound
