Re: Porterbuilt 4 link or trailing arms

I read in a post that Nate prefers the trailing arms to the 4link unless you are making serious power. It got me questioning the pros and cons of each.

How big of a tire/wheel combo are you planning for out back?

The truck arms allow for a larger/wider set-up. Truck arms are also longer & the longer the bar, the better the ride quality (even when comparing different 4-bar set-ups).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Porterbuilt 4 link or trailing arms

Running 10 wide now would like to run 12.
Do trailing arms ride noticeably better? Does either setup corner better than the other?
