What is your current set-up?

SCOTI,
STOCK!!! and NOT leafs its I believe a 2-link setup??
is that right?

Is there a particular reason you want to use a 4-link suspension?

The factory 2-link trailing arm arrangement on 60's-72's works quite well. The biggest improvement can be made by just getting a lower COG (center of gravity).

Air bags are easily adapted & not only ride well, they can be adjusted so you can use your truck as a truck (not that you couldn't do the same w/a 4-link).

trailing arms rule. if you look on the air ride tech website, the airbag setup for the back is about $429. they sell 4 link kits as well.

I agree with Scoti just work with the trailing arms and put in a notch and the rear bag kit bigbluthng suggested and you'll be golden.

Ya, what we have on our trucks is the setup they use in NASCAR

Trailing arms are definately the way to go! My friend had a 68 bagged without shocks in the back and it still rode awesome!
