there are alot of options on how to do it. the front is pretty standard for a torsion suspension truck, and the rear has endless possibilities. check out these sites, and also the tech section of this site.

you could also custom mount a independent rear from a mazda rx-7, that would be pretty cool.

a 6 link uses basically a regular 4 link, with 2 bars in the rear, mounted to the axlehousing using dogbones. the bags are mounted in a leveraged position in the middle(ish) of the bar. a true cantilever uses a bar/bracket with a bag on one end and the axle housing on the other. in the middle of the bar there is a pivot point, which when the bag presses up the axle is pushed down raising the truck. you can adjust the length of one side or the other to change the amount of lift thats achieved or the characteristics of ride. i think thats as basic as i can word it.
