As for the trailing arms on a '73 - '87 truck, it could be done but the frame styles are different. The '73 - '87 frame is much flatter due to the design and leafspring rear suspension. On the trailing arm trucks, the frame is much higher so as to make the necessary room for the rear coils to fit in place and still have suspension travel. If the plan was to to do a custom frame back half with airbags, then adding the trailing arm suspension would be a matter of setting up your own geometry and airbag mounts.
Easy right?  |
To design this as a kit, I would imagine the use of Shockwaves would eliminate the air bag placement issues w/the 73-87 frame rail.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
