I donno about you but mine corners like **** with the 2/4. I made a thread a long time ago.. 2 lanes sideways on a 1 lane each direction road. I'd say go lower (center of gravity follows) and it would help. Sway bar would be a must and I hear that CalTracs also benefit cornering. Or you can go 4-link. If ur wanting it to corner really well its gonna be some work

i left the stock shocks in the front(alot stiffer and spindles allow for all the stock suspension travel) and street performances in the rear and a sway bar in the front and it corners great, but i want to bag it and keep my ride quality or at least gain some better handling and still be able to drop it to the ground

from what I've heard is u gotta find a sweet spot with bags or it'll ride too stiff. I've got Toxic Drop shocks (ProComp) on all 4 corners, took out the helper and it rides nice. Need a sway bar for sure and CalTracs will be necessary soon. I dont know alot about airbags for better handling. Maybe ask LastCall or he'll chime in

Ideally with the correct bag setup it should handle better. IIRC for the front most use the Air Ride coolride kit, and I know the most popular for the rear is the KP Components 6 link (4 link with cantilever). The 6 link comes with a panhard, but you can upgrade to the watts link which is a much better piece to keep the axle centered. Most run Slam bags, viar compressors, and smc valves. For some more info on bag setups, check out gmfullsize.com as a good many of the guys over there are bagged.
