Rear bagged 4 link setup

I'm trying to decide how to set up my rear on my 64 gmc I ordered Porterbuilt for the front can't wait till it gets here but wanting to fab something on rear its factory leaf spring so I'm thinking a bag on bar setup on the outside of the frame and a wishbone or triangulated inside the frame and a raised bed floor just seeing what everybody else is running or thinks of the idea thanks for all the help

Did you ask David and Nate at PorterBuilt? Ride Tech has a bar set up. NO LIMIT. Airbagit.com
You might be able to swap over to trailing arms. Check in with PorterBuilt, I just droped in their tubular rear bars today.

I think the majority of us have trailing arm setup, maybe why there's not a lot of help. But if your leaf setup is the same as the 80's rigs you have done and you were happy, I'd say go that route. I would go with a triangulated four link if it was me. Full movement and no pan hard bar.

Yea everybody seems to love there trailing arms but since I don't have that to start with I can't see spending a bunch to get them so a 4 link would be cheaper and just as good in my opinion but thanks everyone for the help
