Re: Are Trailing Arms Needed?

I converted a leaf spring frame to coils using the kit from ECE. I bought the entire rear trailing arm package that included the cross member. I bought a tubular rear shock cross member as you'll need that as well if you decide to make the swap. All the bolt holes are there and its just a matter of bolting in the new stuff. I only swapped over because all of the leaf spring stuff on my rig needed replaced or at the very least repaired. Plus as mentioned earlier, you'll have a little better ride with more options available. Big question is, "is it worth it to change over?". Only your wallet can answer that. If you're doing a mild drop and making a fun sunday driver, I'd probably just replace bushings in your existing leafs and upgrade the shocks. That's my two cents, however there are guys on this forum with tons of more knowledge that I'll ever gain!
