Cantlever suspensions ride very nice better than over the axle, Also running big wheels, lift is needed, True it adds more stress to the arms but if you brace it correctly there is no problem. Shock waves are nice but i heard that they get less lift than firestones(about 7). Its really up to the person and what they are looking for. Air over coil suspension is 100 percent better. Theres so many different variations of rear systems and what you're looking to do. When I did mine i wanted both a nice ride and lift. I have a longbed and in pennsylvania the roads SUCK. Getting extra lift in the back is good for me and my roll pan, plus its a coolness factor to take the plate from sitting on the ground to almost 26in in the air. As for bags Im running Slam specialties. I like them, little more but well worth it. Well thats my two cents, And my opinion...So its really up to the owner.
