Leafs were definately an easy to understand basic logical setup for us. We could have done coil, and we might in the future, but the ease of geometry and the price of installation was what we were looking for at the time.

The suspension is still working well, a year later, and I still use this truck as my DD.

;D

Ã‚Â It would be like Ã‚Â mimicing the rear setup in the front.
