Conflicting suspension setups

[shawn66mcl]

I currently have a blank canvas of a 72 C/10 long bed and want to upgrade the suspension first to get the handling right before I go after adding power. Part of me really wants to buy a full on race chassis just because they are their (similar mindset to the guy who buys a Ferrari to commute to work). I realize this is not rational. So I have started to narrow down my ideas. I'll start by saying I just mainly want the truck to handle better on the back roads. I will most likely never take it too a track or probably even autocross event. I also don't want the truck to sit much lower than it already is (I'm thinking a 3/5 drop max). I also like the idea of coilovers upfront and airbags in the back because I will be hauling around my Harley in the bed and other miscellaneous heavy items. With that said, I don't want to buy the cheap stuff just because it's cheaper and am willing to pay more for a better product to a point. So right now I'm leaning towards the front end tubular control arm kit from POL that includes shocks, CA's, and coils. I also like RideTech's coilover kit from AZproperformance but it's almost double. Has anyone had anyexperiance with either kit? For the rear I was looking at the Porterbuilt Stage one kit with airbags which fits with my mentality of control ability of squat from a load, but then again I could just buy the full front and rear kit from Ridetech and just tighten the coils when I'm loaded, but again, the ridetech stuff is double in price. I plan on adding front and rear roll bars no matter what. So with the vast experiance on this website, am I just throwing away money on stuff that will look good when I'm parked at a show and will but is really overkill, is the cheaper stuff still good enough for my end goals? Or am I compleletly missing something that I could do that would be even better for similar money. Speaking of money, my budget is a max of $5,000 if I know it's worth the investment, but would like to keep it closer to $3,000 if I could.
