Re: kp components weld in step notch
Keeping it simple usually works well. The truck arms are proven on these trucks. If you can achieve the drop you want w/them, there's not much reason to change.
If you're objective is to lay out, a 4-link (or similar susupension) is in your future. If you stick w/truck arms & are trying to lay-out, you'll be compromising somewhere (or modifying the frame).

Re: kp components weld in step notch
With the right bag in the right position, it will ride as good or better than stock.

Re: kp components weld in step notch
The bed floor on that truck was raised 3" originally. It was re-done & he might have raised it even more on the 2nd round of modifications (I haven't seen the truck or its owner in a while as he's been traveling a lot).
