I have been think about 4 link the back of my cab truck and running a Fox air shock in just the rear and leave the front leaf spring. But i was told I would have alot boyondy roll, does anyone have have any advice to give me on this.
 
I think if you have leafs on one end you will be ok... I run fox airs on all four corners with a light sway bar in the back and my body roll is minimal.
 
There are a bunch of buggies out there with leaf springs on the front and gas shocks on the rear that work pretty dang good.
The leaf springs will stabilize the body while the rear flexes like crazy. You'll love it.
 
you'll be fine. A buddy of mine had a chopped up k5 blazer with leafs front and 2.5 air shocks in the rear and it did good.
 
Thats what i did with mine. I ran a triangulated 3 link in the rear and tj coils, spool, 5.29's, bead locks, and the rear flexes great! the front has 5 inch springs it does well but not like the rear. Plans are for air shocks. I have been happy with it and think you should run with it.

Thanks for the info that prolly what I will be with since i already have a 4 or 5 inch lift leaves springs in the front. But wonder if I need to back half it for the air shock the bed right now is only 33 inches wide.
