Re: Swing Arm or Leaf Spring for towing?

the main thing you need to do is make sure the bushings on the trailing arm rear are all good. If you plan to tow that much all the time, then you need to look into a 3/4 ton (coils were still standard on the chevy) Again, if doing this kind of work all the time, I would recomend poly bushings.
Both coil and leaf were rated for the same payloads and towing rate, so that is not a real issue, it's the handeling aspect of them that is what we are talking about.
