Anyone running trailing arms? Worth the upgrade?

[Mattchu60]

I am gathering parts for a 85' short box build currently. One thing that has caught my eye is the CPP 73-87 trailing arm conversion.

I did some searches and cannot find much on it. Seems like Hot Rod did a write up on the install almost 10 years ago but that's about it.

Anyways - my main goals for my build is smooth ride along with a 6.0 LQ4 swap and 4L80e. I'd like to do either a 2/4 or 3/5 drop. Trailing arms seem like a good way to improve the rear ride quality and also the ride height would be easier to change (by swapping out spring heights or using airbags).

I would love some input from anyone that has done this - is it worth it? Does it ride nice? Any other thoughts on trailing arms on these trucks?
