Well guys, I have emailed Nate and posted elsewhere but I figured I'd give you something semi-interesting to discuss.

Goal is to lay out a 62 LWB with a 63+ frame on air. Front will be the complete PB setup.

Options are

Rear drop setup using PBs Trailing arm "kit"(all PB parts like notch etc...)

Rear drop setup using PBs 4 link kit

I would automatically assume the 4 link is better but I have been wrong before. Will be a daily driver including the ND winters(focus on the suspension, not the winter affecting air ride) so any "extra" ground clearance is a plus. Big wheels are on the list of to do, I figure about 29" tire diameter. Most everything I have figured out so stick with the rear suspension differences. Thanks a ton guys!

What would you do?
