Title: What suspension setup is this?
Post by: Chappo on November 23, 2013, 01:25:51 am

I apologize if these are someones trucks and posting your pic but, does anyone know if they are 4-link air setups or static drops and if so how low are they?

I am torn between Porterbuilt 4-link Extreme or Trailing arm setup, I know main difference is trailing arm limitation is the bed and that its much easier install.

I know the wheels on the blue truck are 20's & 22's but don't know anything about the suspension and love the setup, and appears to be the same on the orange.

A porterbuilt should sit lower than that if aired out.  This is a porterbuilt.

Those could be static or Ridetech, this is N2TRUX's Ridetech equipped truck, Air kit in front, Airbar in rear

With the ride tech setup would that be comparable to the porterbuilt trailing arm setup,  allowing for the bed to remain intact?

N2TRUX pickup required no changes to the bed.  If you aren't going to be slammed (requiring mods to the bed) the Ride Tech is a good solution also.
