I'm thinking about adding a tow rig to my herd. I currently have an 04 CTD that I DD and pull my job trailer with. It's 4wd and only has the 4 door. I'd like something with good road manners, loaded or empty that can comfortably haul 4 people.
Not going new truck, I like the older ones and I can't spend ^ of 60k for a truck.
LWB trucks ride better, but they didn't make the mega cab/Long bed in the years I'm thinking of. So, I'm thinking of taking a 2wd megacab and extending it to the 8' bed. I'd like to control the ride quality by linking the rear and going to air bags. Not to slam it, more to have the adjustable ride and basically just level it out.
My question is, what type of link set up should I use? Dbl triangulated 4 link? Single triangulated 4 link? Parallel 4 link with pay hard?
I know there is lots of knowledgable guys on here that see a lot more stuff in real life than I have experience with, that's why I'm asking. I have been reading and looking at pics, but I'd also be curious what says the guys on here say. I have seen lots of your pics and posts and feel I can trust your advice more than "random interwebs expert".
