Has anyone ever tried to upgrade their SC10 with a SC 4 Standard suspension, meaning not long track. The front shock travel is 8.5 on the 98's vs 6.3 on the 2002 Do you think it would handle squirly?, lose my launch?

How much of a difference in the ride will I get from a shorty to a Renegade, both with the R-motion suspension. I know with a standard C-5 or C-4 rear that a gade would give a much better ride but I here that with the new rears it wouldn't be that much a big difference.
