I would stick with trailing arms. Trailing arms work well here's proof.

Re: what you guys think on this concept???

it has a glass nose and doors but it still weighs almost as much as it did when it was all steel and step side. It weighed 3200 with me in it last year but hopefully will be about 100 to 200lbs lighter this year.

I would leave it steel unless its an all out race truck. I may put steel doors back on mine at some point.
