Re: 1959 Chevy suspension recommendations, rear end recommendations and transmissions
Erm.
With leaf springs, you don't need a link system. The leaves *are* the links. A rear four link kit is for when you want to run coil springs. If you are keeping it stock height, I'd run stock springs in back. Alternately, you could run Chevy 63" leaf springs. They are for 1/2 ton trucks and have quite a good reputation for ride quality amongst 4x4 types. This will take some modifying to do.

Re: 1959 Chevy suspension recommendations, rear end recommendations and transmissions
Gabe, recommend starting a new thread with an appropriate title. You're much more likely to get replies that way rather than tagging to an unrelated topic.
