Links & bags (or coils) offer much better ride quality. My dually is night & day difference & that's w/still using load rated 235/85-16 tires.

The 6-link is supposed to be even better. I looked into one years ago when I had my '74. In the end, they're not rated to carry a load & I use my truck as a truck so a 4-bar or Truck-Arm set-up was the way to go.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
