umm alright i read the post about the different designs of rear suspensions and i'm still a little confused about what i should go with

all i wanna do it hit sides and be able to kick a rollin 3 wheel (i don't wanna hop and i'm not lookin to get crazy lift but if i have to to kick a 3 i will i guess)

i read that the super pivots were bad and that lever kits can't hit the sides that well and neither could triangulated 4 links does this mean i need a parallel 4-link? can i just mount taller bags on top of the axle to get more lift to hit a 3 or do i have to have a lever kit?

I would get either a parallel 4 link with a watts and try to mount the bags closer to the cab, or a super pivot 3 link and again try to mount the bags closer. You really need to be able to hit sides and get a good ammount of lift to pull a 3 wheel.

and those 13in bags are nothing but trouble.. from my friends experiences.. not my own. I would try to mount the bag closer to the cab either over bar.. or custom build brackets or something to give u more lift.

nice! did he use a lever kit? also i was looking a suicidedoors.com
and they sell individual link bars and i was wondering if i should run the adjustable ends. are they worth it?
