the right triangulated 4 link will give you WAAAAYYYY more flex than any leaf spring suspension ever will... better ride on the road thanks to coil overs too!
by the way Jamroon, was looking through your SAS built thrad; you'll like those KM2's once you get that thing rolling on the trails
had a set for a little while on my Tacoma and they did GREAT on the road and on the trails. eventually went bigger with the Mickey Thompson Baja MT's only because I got a decent deal on them though lol

I have KM2's on the Blazer and yes I love them lol, the tires in the SAS Thread are BFG Krawlers but I may or may not end up running them. They're a little bigger than I would like, I have them for sale. If they don't sell I'll run them and hopefully not break. If they do sell I have a set of 37" Cooper STT's that I'll run.
Oh and btw, I do like those wheels on your truck. If the grill didn't have the chrome strip I think they would look out of place, but the chrome strip kind of ties it together I guess.

yeah that's what I'm afraid of... and I'm not about to notch my frame just to clear some tires lol. what's the smallest spacers that can go on the front? (the adapter style that have they're own new studs) I'd like to stay around an inch wider for the front on either side. How much difference is there between the front and rear width on either side, 3/4 inch? I think if I go too far I'm going to run into issues hitting the front valance and bottom right of the fender... might end up being a whole project at once, wheel spacers AND about 1 1/2 of lift via shackles and torsion bar adjustments :P
You need to custom build it on their site. I forget the price but its ~$60.
They have bora adapters you could do 1" front(crossing your fingers that will do it) and 2" rear to aid in appearance.
The front track is supposed to be 2" wider overall...though I measured a few times over and mine seems to be slightly wider at about 2 3/8" wider compared to the rear. I think it looks really goofy having the rears tires so far in. I'll get some pics up in my thread once my spacers and adapters arrive.

The thinnest adapter I found was 3/4" from Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech

actually just took a measurement (convenient working in a junk yard 
) looks like 1 3/8" is as short as you can go and still clear the studs, so I may go with that in the front, and 2 3/8" or 2 1/2" for the rear (assuming the front fits with 1 3/8" spacers). I just hope it doesn't push out too far and the tire starts hitting the front valance or bottom rear of the fender. The valance I can trim so that wouldn't be a big deal, but the bottom corner of the fender, I really don't want to pound in with a hammer or cut it up...

Either do some more research before commenting or stop commenting on anything off road related. You might know drag racing but you obviously don't know off road.
4 links are king of the hill when it comes to off-roading. The majority of hardcore off road buggies run 4 link suspensions front and rear.

Look at the 4 link on your skid steer or man lift. Or even Machinerys Hand book. Any first year engineering text will point you to the same conclusion.
I dont mean to anger.

I do go to many different types of motor sport events to see if there is any thing to be learned. Obviously I have failed to learn how off road has avoided solid axle 4 link bind.
