Well.... I have one of each suspension set-up & I like the way the trailing arm rides better. I also feel it articulates better so it handles better.

Both of mine are dropped @ least 6" so something a little less radical could be different. My 68 has the trailing arms & my 74 has leafs. Everything else about the suspensions is pretty similar.

I pull an 18ft steel car hauler w/my 68 & it pulls fine, w/o sway or lean.
