ok gang.. I brought home an "X" to try overnight.. It is a 2002 XLT with ALL the extras.. build is (May '02) It is VERY clean, and only 17K miles.. The deal I have so far is $26,500. How does that sound? Here is the main issue: The whole family feels the ride is so truck-like as to be bothersome on a long trip. My wife sat in 3rd row seat and was going nuts feeling "jounced". The kids were scattered and all felt some degree of irritation.. I also felt the bumps and road dips with a sharp shock response.. the type that bounces your belly One daughter felt a bit car sick... I have read tons about many of you adding a rear stabilizer and new bilstiens (or comparable brand) shocks.. Will this mod HELP the situation or make the ride even more harsh... please let me know if suspension mods will cure or worsen the problem of a harsh ride sensation.. The "jounce" and corresponding belly sensation may be a deal breaker!!! btw we drive a 91 Chevy 3/4 ton conversion van with 168k miles.. It rattles and moans and the X is clearly a step up.. but may still not get the family vote.. My wife seems to prefer the suburban in terms of comfort.. your advice may help save My "X".! thanks Bill

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it. My X has been very reliable and a pleasure to own. It does everything I ask of it without problems.
