Yeah, no you don't "have to", but it does look much better...makes it much easier to run the exhaust without having nearly the issues associated with the trailing arms...and you can keep your mufflers inbetween the frame rails.

I'm going to do it after I put the gas tank in the frame (out back) and then fab up the exhaust (running through the trailing arm crossmember) over the rearend as tight to the bed as I can and try to run it out just behind the bumper. I'll cross under the frame just after the rearend (where the frame is a bit higher in the body) so I can exit the exhaust around the new gas tank placement...In theory
