There was no hating, just wondering. That's all. To each their own.

I think im the only one who can give criticism since im the only other one who tried the front leafs haha

Its very difficult to put the shackle in the rear and try to keep the leaf spring flat.

Mine rode softer than coils. Hows yours ride?

I'm really liking it so far it was very affordable to go this way I still need to remove some leaf packs, but other than that I was able to put the Dana 44&60 narrowed axles in for right around 350 dollars which include the axles

Affordable is nice! Thats the reason i did that swap. But the longer you wheel it and more hardcore terrain you wheel you will eventually go back to a link setup. Just my prediction lol

I think link setups give better approach angles so i see where you would prefer them.
