The tires certainly aren't lo-pros. They're 235/55 if memory serves me. My Mustang has lower profile tires and a stiffer, lower suspension and it's much more comfortable than my truck. I honestly think it's just shitty engineering...not a limited suspension travel. Truth be told you're right as far as towing is concerned. I bought the truck because it was relatively cheap ($20K) and figured it *might* be able to tow the Mustang to and from the track (plus I figured I already had 1 car...why buy a second). Wrong. I'm actually suprised the Xtreme is recommended for zero towing. My truck's exactly the same without the gay ground effects and it's rated at a max of 3000lbs. IMHO...trucklets are just lame and if I didn't have so much money tied up in this POS I'd sell it for a Lightning in a heartbeat.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, I was just saying why it rides like crap. True the ride could be better but its because of the lowered suspension. I personally never liked the extremes.
Your entitled to your opinion, I prefer a mini to a full size truck simply because im not looking for a full size truck. Although I would make an exception for the lighting.....
As for the topic at hand, id go for an h22 just like thermalfi said. I have a video of an accord with an h22 on the dyno and it just screams. It was supposedly hooked to the accord transmission. On the dyno it tops out at 180 and gets there fairly quickly
