It's not just the ride...

I didn't really mean that the ride was terrible...Bilsteins in the front, Ranchos in the back, btw. It's more that the noise, bump-steer (no steering stabilizer yet), lack of highway power, and more noise (tire + a lot more wind noise now) make for a fatiguing highway cruise. I have no problem doing a 4 or even 6 hour jaunt, but if I sell of my AT's I'm going to be dreading the yearly visit to my parents in Maine at Christmas time...I usually make the drive up or down from here in one day. Part of the problem is I can't seem to use cruise control anymore, because I need to downshift quite frequently to stay caught up with 70-75mph traffic on I-95 or 81.
