Further update, today was the first time I ran my Atlantic since last fall. Over the winter I continued to play around with the suspension by removing everyother leaf from the leading truck springs and compensating for the changed dimension with a taller block under the springs. The softer springs up front with all of the other things I did made a huge difference in performance. Fine tuning your suspension is well worth the effort, the difference in performance is like day and night.
