I thought it was just my truck, but been in few different trucks now while waiting for the sensor.

On right handed curves and turns, it feels like there's a ton of body roll to the left, outside of the turn. Like if you have ever raced cars or even taken hard turns, the car will lean to the outside of the turn.

I usually take turns 5 to 10 under, I'm pretty slow and conservative, and I'm assuming it's just the way it feels because the cab is mounted on air bags and shocks. But it feels like I'm going to roll the truck. I know I'm not, but it's unnerving and I'm really used to a different feeling in turns from racing and from bike.

Is this normal and do you eventually just get used to it?
