Not trying to reboil the ocean - and rehash multiple other threads threads. For those that have upgraded their '24 to '25 springs have you noticed any difference in handling, road feel or body roll?

Was watching this popular youtube show and he mentioned feeling much taller and tippy in the '25 model? He's been very impressed by the off road driving and noticed the improvements in the '25 model - but hope he was not over reacting to the feel.

Here are his 2 videos he makes comments about the '25 model:



 
Thank you for bringing this up! I was just watching the videos and was thinking the same. I recall seeing this post from another thread "Which GX provides smoother ride on roads?"
I had a24 OT*,and now a25 OT+ can’t say how the others ride but the 25 drives or more stable in strong winds

And this post too from 1due in a different thread, "Can we hear from OT & OT+ owners who DON'T have vibration / ride issues?" :

Loved the 24 25 gave me what I wanted in the 24 that was unavailable at the time 25 appears better or more stable in strong wind that I wasn’t expecting that but a good thing with the 1ā€ lift it was unexpected
 
Watched both videos over the wknd and was shocked to hear it. Was actually considering upgrading to a ā€˜25 model but now I’m thinking no (since I don’t off-road the vehicle atm). Also my garage opening is only 7’ so don’t want to push it
 
I have a 2024 over trail + with 5k miles and put 2025 front coil springs on my vehicle. My experience so far is you feel like you’re in sport mode when you’re a normal mode. just a little stiffer and a little less roll in the turns and less front pitch. I decided to just put front coils on to level out the vehicle instead of a lift kit. I completely disagree with what the gentleman states in the videos.

Do you have any before/after pictures you can share?

So, I have a '25 Luxury+, but I swapped my stock rims for the OT rims. I noticed a pretty severe ride after the swap. I went to a shop and had them road force balance the tires, and it has been a pretty smooth ride ever since. I believe the Luxury trims offer a "comfort" drive setting as well (maybe they all do?), but I have just stuck with the normal setting.

Did you do the spring upgrade?
