Pete-

Where are you doing your research!? The internet!
I have always had great success (in ride quality and function) when using a tapered sleeve style bag on an over the axle configuration. The tapered sleeve and rolling sleeve are designed to be used this way, and ride exceptionally well. They have a lower load capacity than a double convoluted bag, making it unnecessary to lever.

The tapered and rolling sleeve bags are, IMO, the better way to go on the rear of a truck when using a four-link set-up. There is no need to lever the bag on a link bar, and they also package nicely.
