Re: trailing arm and coil springs suspension beefing up question

Eliminate the coils. Get the correct bag for the weight capacity & install them in place of the coils. Eliminate the 'helper' shocks & utilize some top end mono-tube gas shocks (I like Bilsteins). The Long Panhard bar w/poly bushed ends helps keep things in place w/minimal movement. Poly bushings in the front of the truck arms are a good idea too.

Keep it simple.

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.
