We just finished building a tubular trailing arm kit for the back. This will work the oem leaf spring truck as well.

Default Bags Baby!

Have you thought about bagging it? Since it's a truck, I am not sure pulling 1.2+ G's on the pad is your main concern. I could be off base though. I would bag it, that way get the ride your looking for with some adjustable style. Just an idea...

We also have some Tubular upper and lower StrongArms available. We corrected the ball joint angle, Camber, and added about 3" Caster.
