Suspension Upgrades

With all of you with an updated motor with some horse power have you found that you need to update your rear suspension, or will trailing arms and coils be fine? Which is better, coils/bags? I'm shooting for about 600 hp. I just picked up a ford 9" and plan on keeping the trailing arms and coils. Just don't know if I will have to change to four-link. Thanks

Re: Suspension Upgrades

The trailing arm suspension is great and will hold up to the power. Its so good NASCAR still uses it. Upgrades to stock stuff are numerous. You just have to make sure your suspension in particular is up to snuff.

Re: Suspension Upgrades

You could likely find more info for your questions in the 'Racing and High Performance' section of this forum. There are a few guys still running the trailing arms on their drag trucks.
