We have decided to go with a ladder bar rear suspention on the new truck. Does anyone make a bolt in or weld in system for our trucks? This would save alot of time in our goal of running in April.

I figured that....we have no problem with weld in systems....I was hoping for a kit, but it does not look like one is available. I am going to give morrison a call on Monday and see what they have to say. The suspention is the most important part of this build IMO.

Grippy has suggested this:

I agree, it looks pretty straight forward....add some QA1 coil overs and we are in biz.

Will that Panhard bar keep 1200 ft lbs of torque from shooting that rear end to the car next to you? That is the question I would ask.
I know KP components are top notch for air ride suspensions, just not sure about for high performance applications. Maybe if you build off of the kit to make it stronger it may work.
You may want to go to GMFullsize and ask some durability and strength realted questions in the suspension part of the forum. A lot of the people over there are riding on KP components in the rear of there trucks. I thought
I heard about some saying that there was side to side movement under hard acceleration. Not sure which kit it was though. Maybe there 6-link.
