Hi I am currently in the progress(slow progress) of building a big block
Dakota and am trying to figure out what I am going to use for rear
suspension. Originaly I was just going to use the leaves and a custom pinion
snubber, but was also thinking about keeping the leaves and adding ladder
bars. Another option was ladder bars with coilovers(no leaves) or a 4 link
but Ive been reading alot about suspesion binding with these setups on the
street. The last option was a 3 link setup. What do you guys think?? I am
hoping to get low 12's possibly high elevens with this truck but It will
mainly be street driven . Any suggestions??

PS:do you guys think it would be possible to use SS springs? If so how would
they affect the handling. I am also adding heavy duty swaybars front and
rear to help the handling but they would be removed at the track.
