I would normally agree with a regular car. However, the computers are calibrated for the truck's weight and height. Altering height does not compensate for the computers. Does this not matter?

i.e. Suppose the truck is lowered and you are in a hard corner, the anti-roll won't have to work as hard because there is less roll even though inertia is there, DPC uses roll as one of many inputs and will not adjust wheel power accordingly as much because the turn does not appear to be as severe.

I could be wrong but that is how I thought it worked.
