I test drove a 2001 4.4 Sport with 19" wheels and a 2002 4.4 Sport with 18" wheels before buying my 2004 4.4 Sport with 19" wheels.

The 2001 Sport with 19" wheels and the 2002 Sport with 18" wheels rode very similiar. I really couldn't detect much difference between the 18's and 19's.

My 2004 with 19's is much stiffer than either the 2001 or 2002 I drove. Were their any suspension changes that year? I thought I remember hearing the Sport suspensions actually got "less harsh" as the models years progressed, so my experiecne is opposite of what I have heard.

Anyone have the facts on year to year changes in suspension calibrations?
