Again need to rely on the lists experience:
Soon I'm going to have to make a decision on the rear suspension for my
55-1st 1/2 T PU. I have ridden
in 3 trucks - all with stock rear suspension & know I will have to change my
55 due to previous back conditions.
Have installed bolt-in 75 Chev 1/2 T PU front suspension ( never driven
this truck ) with the decision of replacing existing leaf springs to include
nylon between leafs and shocks or going to coil-over 4-link.
No Limit Engineering has bolt in spring / shock replacement kits for $450 or
weld in 4-link kits for $600 that will also require I est. $250 arc welding
after I locate & tack with mig welding ( don't trust my welding on
suspension parts ). I don't mind the extra expense or time for the 4-link if
it would buy me any added ride comfort. At best 55 will be used for a car
with a big trunk - no serious hauling.
Been told both leaf & 4-link rears are great - please advise your hopefully
personal experiences.
