Does a 4 link suspension with coilovers or bagged have any trailering capacity and/or payload? (GVWR)
Thanks

Maybe add a rear sway bar with some type of traction bar. To have the leaf springs remain. :Pshyco:

Coilovers are adjustable and drag racers are pulling trailers with racecars during drag week so I say they should have "some" load carrying ability. How much:shrug:

Good article in last months "Classic Truck" magazine on a rear trailing arm setup for the square bodies from CPP. I did not see any info about load capabilities though.

Depends on the design and bag/coilover placement. But they should be able to carry as much as your truck could if properly designed. There are many linked trucks that tow big heavy things.

Thanks for the input on this. Wasn't sure if there was any numbers available.

67-72 the c20's ran 2 I-beam type arms in the rear, so you could go off of that design.
