Okay im do a full width and SAS on my runner. I already have a set of chevy 63's to go out back with my 14 bolt. How do i know which springs i should run up front though? Obviously i will need it to sit level. but where do i start?

He is using 51" Toyota rears. Toyota rears are nice because you can make them anyway you like, and they are cheap.

Seriously, I've never installed a 4-link, but you can't convince me it's easier than leafs. Triangulation confuses me.

I prefer leafs for my part of the counrty, wheeling style, and rugged simplicity.
I say Marlin leafs.
