Pros and Cons of rear suspension setups

Warm weather has finally come and once again, its time to get busy on the builds..Im investigating pros and the cons of bag locations in the rear..I love hearing from people who have finished projects and getting their input on their experience on what they like...and sometimes..wish they had done diffrently..

I plan on doing a back-half..Swapping rear axle to a 5 lug..Running shocks..22s..Notch..Bridge..4 link..Etc...I plan on laying body...Hard..So later on ill need to do the BD

My question is mainly about where to run the rear bags..On axle?..Under axle?..Behind axle?...Im not looking for 12" of lift..So theres no need to mount the bags farther back...right?

Shock location..Would mounting to the bridge be a good idea?..Or would past the rear axle be better?..

I know if you plan on keeping the trailing arms, There WILL be mods..But is their anyone who DID decide to keep them?..

Is anyone running a Pan-hard bar with their setups?..Im concerned with axle movement from just the 4 link bars welded to the axle..Or will that just be enough?

And lastly..Im wondering what ride height is good to set the suspension at..What height has anyone else found that the suspension will be able to cycle properly fully aired?..

Thanks guys.
