Trailing arm thoughts & questions...
 
Ok guys, I need to build new trailing arms for my truck Killer, because with the 6-3/16" Z in the rear wmy wheels arent centered anymore

But I am thinking about running the new trailing arms outside the frame to make more room for exhaust & stuff
And I would also be moving my bags further forward & to the outside of the frame

Is there any real problem or disadvantage to this design ???

Here is a pic of what Im talking about, Im pretty sure this is a board members truck

no its just fine to run it that way. do not offset the bag on the bar it just cause's more stress on the bar and bushings that can be easily avoided.
