I am unsure right now about what I would like for the rear suspension. I have time so I am trying to figure the plan out for it. a 295 or 315 is fine for me. Wide is awesome but not the most cost effective for something I intend to drive often. Fays watts link is only $650. new set of leaf springs and decent shocks maybe a couple hundred more. If i was going to try and tuck a 335 ya offset shackles and deep tub would be needed and costs go up. My room mates TA has 315 and he just rolled the fender lip. Rear quarters are almost identical. The watts link can be added to most suspension setups. A watts link can be added to the 4 link setup as long as it does not conflict with range of motion for the 4 link or mounting for it. There are several watts link setups that include coil overs, TQ arms and links. BMR is one of them and there are a couple others out there that have a watts link added to their style suspension. I understand going with one company for front and rear suspension and Ride Tech is a great choice with amazing support team and customer service. I'm just curious for a budget build why not a watts link and off set leaf spring shackles to accommodate tire size wanted? If it was considered if there was a deciding factor behind picking one over the other.
