In the planning stages for a '57 WM300 Power Wagon. Will be a dually with a flatbed, set up for either bumper or gooseneck towing.
I would like to run something a little softer than a standard leaf pack as 99% of my driving is unloaded cruising. I don't expect a one ton on a big set of dually wheels to ride like a caddy, but comfortable is a must.
That has had me thinking of what would be better. I can utilize the stock leaf perches and have a set of soft "daily driver" leaves made, and install a set of adjustable bags for when a hitch or pin load is added. The other option is to jump ship and build a complete four link setup that relies on bags only. I'm skeptical of this as it's a lot of additional fab, time, and money, which could be placed elsewhere on the truck.
Furthermore, I wonder if I should apply the chosen setup out back to the front.
Truck in question...
