Rear Suspension
I plan on using my 84' C10 as a Street/Strip Truck and was wondering what you guys did for Rear Suspension... Should I get HD Leaf Springs, Paint them, then throw on a set of Traction Bars and call it a day or should I invest in a good Rear Suspension like a 4-Link or Ladder Bar setup... Whats your opinions... Thanks!

Re: Rear Suspension
I'd link it, or run a tractions bar at least. Not those bars that mount on the leafs, but an actual link from the axle to a shackle at the frame.
Not sure how fast you're planning on going but I've broken leafs before due to axle wrap and highly recomend 4 link with coilovers. |
