Those with trailing arm rear suspension

[Wild83C10]

I didn't weld the whole seam, just 2" every 8-10".

softballnrd27, first thanks for your service. Not sure on the exact cost but here is what I believe everything cost:
trailing arms, used: $100
crossmember from CPP: $175-$200?
Coilover shocks: QA1 $150ea
Springs: QA1 $60
coilover mounts: chassis eng. $50
Perches: CPP $?
Adjustable Track bar: CPP $170

I used QA1 coilovers mounted in front of the rear, Porterbuilt trailing arms and crossmember,and built my own panhard bar and bracket. I am thinking about changing the panhard bar to a wishbone type setup. Here's a few pics:

What does it cost for that porterbuild set up? and can you provide me with the website? thanks.

I'm not sure what it costs new, I bought it off another member on the board. It's real nice stuff, and Nathan from Porterbuilt is also a member and vendor of this forum. Go to Porterbuilt streetrods.com. Nathan is also a great guy!

so being that i have a c20 3/4 ton, and the trailing arms have an extra plate for strength. How would you recommend welding to be done?

Is the plate on the top and bottom of the arm? If so then I wouldn't worry about doing anything else other then verifying it's not rusting out in the middle. I think the CPP trailing arm reinforcing kit is a top and bottom plate.
