Parallel vs Wishbone and Watts vs Panhard

Not trying to lay frame, just wanna ride nice and low running 275/60/15s out back. Truck is a daily driver leaf sprung 72. Plates and cups on stock arms up front.

Thinking about buying a parallel 4 kit and panhard or watts link.

I know lots of guys are running the wishbones. I like those too (I run one on my Jeep) but the parallel seems to be an easier install with no cross member. I'd like to stay away from the angle issues of tri 4s (am keeping the 12 bolt).

Anyone have some pics of a parallel install? I am especially interested in how you set up the bag brackets and shocks. Over axle, behind axle etc.

I know the simple route would probably be a bridge and that would solve the C notch if bought in a kit (like suicidedoors). I'd have to cut or raise the bedfloor which I'd like to avoid.

Also interested in thoughts on watts link vs panhard bar.

Thanks
