Need some pro advice on rear suspension. Extremely narrowed rear.



Well i will post a shot of what im dealing with. I have a custom 9 and some 15x14 wheels. The perch distance on stock rear trailing arms is around 40 inches. My setup will require them to be at 35 total space. Which means i need to bring each in 2.5 or so which will take the rear back a small amount but not what im concerned with. I guess what im looking for is opinions on whether i should try to use stock style trailing arms from cpp or porter or do some type of custom triangulated 4 link. I wont be able to have trailing arm coils so i will have to go coilover either way. Also im not worried about having to clearence the perches or the crossmember to get the correct geometry. Has anyone done anything similar to this on here? Which will be the best option for a mild pro touring build. Tires are gonna be mickey thompson sportmans that are 31 tall and the drivetrain is a 6 liter ls and 4l80e. Thanks for any help guys
