rear suspension
Hey guys i have a 70 gmc i want to go for the "pro street" look. Big tiers out back slammed to the ground.
My question is right now i have leaf spring rear and it doesnt hook up at all. So which should i do 4 link... ladder bar.. or jut find a crossmember and order new trainling arms and springs to make it a trailing arm rear like chevys? Pros vs Cons? on all of these. Past experiences. I eventually want to build a motor and run high 11s and still beable to take it to car shows and cruises. I want to drive it. thanks in advance. |

Re: rear suspension
A four link is what I would do and it looks great also. You could also stay with the leafs springs . With a little work they would not have a problem hooking up at all.

Re: rear suspension
It all comes down to $$$. If you want a truck to hit 11's, then you might be aware you are looking at a HUGE build budget.
If I wanted 11's, I would be looking to go 4 link with a lot of chassis mods. There are a few dragsters on here, you might want to look at the setups they have.
