Re: CantiLever vs. Parallel 4-Link; What's better?

What are the pro's and con's of using each? About 99% of the trucks that are bagged around me, are all CantiLever in the back. (Either that, or Air-Over-Leaf) So, my guess is CantiLever lets you "hop" higher/easier?


A cantilever setup puts the suspension at a 2:1 ratio. For every 1" of bag travel, the vehicle raises 2". The KP setups are said to ride great but I would rather have an ART parallel 4-link. Having the option to mount the bags and shock absorbers where you want is nice. Plus, the quality of their products can't be matched.
