Given that this is going to be my first time building a suspension, I think that I am going to go with the truck arm.

It will limit the amount of adjustment possible, which will actually be a good thing for me.

The adjustments will be more simple to understand. And if I outgrow the truck arm suspension, in the way that I find myself needing the ability to make more finite adjustments. I can always build a 3-link/torque arm set-up.

But, honestly, the S10 is going to be my daily driver. And once I install the Ridetech Tru Turn G-body A-arms and coilovers, and the CPP spindles with C5 hubs, which is my planned front suspension, I doubt I will need to ever change that. So the amount of possible grip up front isn't going to change once I get that installed and dialed in.

If a truck arm suspension is capable of balancing the rear grip to the grip available in the front, then I will not ever have the need for changing from the truck arm.

This is going to be my daily driver, so it's not really an ever evolving racecar. Yes, I will have adjustable shocks/coilovers and an adjustable panhard bar, and I will adjust them for my autocross events. But once I get this suspension dialed in and balanced, I am going to move on to something else.

And that will be racercar.
