Parallel 4 links

I am saving to do a air bag set up on my truck around Christmas. When work slows down, and no one will notice me gone while the install goes down.

I see on line I can get many different link systems, and some have longer bars. Or you can upgrade to them. Is there any advantage to going with longer bars? My goal is a very nice ride like a 72 Cadillac.

When I read the kits online. They always seem to break into 2 camps. Laying frame or helper air bags. I want a 5/7 drop when I am done. Then I will set the bump stops so it won't damage anything of it loses air. I know alot of it is all about adjustment, and the shocks. But honestly you can only polish a turd so far.

I was looking at a universal kit for ease of packaging. As I would like the air tank accessible if shtf. So I can get a common connector on it to air me back up hopefully.

For reference. I will use the strut tower to bolt on a bag adapter to run a RE8 bag, and weld the bottom plates to the a-arms. I then will mount a shock behind the a-arm like a C30. This way it is easily reversible, and should have plenty of shocks to choose from.
