The positive is better on-road handling, flatter cornering, less body-roll. Stiffer "lift" springs do some of this on their own, so part of the positives are reduced.

The negatives include reduced axle "articulation" and over-all suspension stiffness.

Many guys use a quick-disconnect to get the best of both worlds. You can keep the on-road handling pluses yet still have better suspension travel off-road when disconnected.

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself...

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
