Rear air bag setup

I have a 55 f100 that I want to put down in the weeds but can't decide what route I need to go. I have a fatman front with shockwaves and don't know if putting shockwaves on the back will do it or getting the pancake style bag and goin that way. I've seen a lot of trucks with the pancake style rear setup and don't know if that's the way to go or just a cheaper way of doing it. Thanks

Shockwaves are nice but not very well suited for uber-slammed vehicles. Take a look at the shockwave specs and see how much travel you can tolerate.
