I think you should go with the 4-link, (a) more travel, (b) works well with coil-overs, which I think you have. Not to mention, when people see that big old trailing arm underneath your truck they will probably stop and Stair, I know I would. You decide!

Dude, if you have the coil-overs then link it! Hell it is about the same cost! The only reason I have race packs on my truck is because I already had 'em. Take the time and do it right!!!!
