Just joined today and searched the forum to see if anyone had asked this before but couldn’t find anything. Is there a reason why people don’t seem to use trailing arms with shocks or coilovers mounted to them in the front of a rig? I have an 81 half ton Chevy that I’ve been slowly working on. Suspension is under the knife right now and I am inboarding my rear springs to right under the frame rails and putting 52” springs up front with the front mounts at the very end of the frame to stretch it as far forward as I can. I thought about building lower links front and rear to keep axle wrap to a minimum and then thought why not use an anti wobble joint on the frame side and mount shocks to that so I can save a few bucks on shocks by using a shorter shock and i could setup the front upper shock mounts to be at the tallest part of the frame hump in the front. In my head this seems like a good idea but I can’t find any information on people using them up front
