You are correct, at least as to my experience. I don't run mine back up to full unloaded ride height.....too stiff and doesn't handle as well as when it is somewhere between unloaded height and level. It all depends on my total weight and and tongue weight which varies by trip depending on how much fresh water I have, which toy is loaded, etc.
Definitely have both sides plumbed separately unless you like extra body roll and sway. Or do what I did and plumb separately then add HD Helwig sway bars front and rear. Then it will handle like a slot car.
