Less bouncey...I had air bags. That's about it. I never really had any stability issues. I was just under the axle (tire) limit before. I'm sure it's more stable overall, but that may even out since I'll need to raise the suspension on the trailer to match the higher truck. I think the increased distance between the trailer and truck is going to negatively effect mileage. I do notice more air turbulance in the bed. I may get a deflector to help with that a little, but mostly to lessen the bug carnage.
I'm happy with the change though. The only real thing I miss is the smaller turning radius of the short bed.
Doing away with the slider has tightened everything up back at the hitch/pin. It feels more solid, especially with the Curt 20K that I got. It has rubber mounts to help with shock. Between that and the Mor-ryde pin I am grinning from ear to ear crossing the railroad tracks!
