front end is coils and the rear are leafs... is that what you're asking for?

best suspensions on the market are (my opinion): RUBICON EXPRESS, SKYJACKER, ROCK KRAWLER AND CLAYTON OFFROAD. those are the bad boys of the game. lesser kits include;

Ah ok I was wondering because independent rides like a race car and is comfortable but painful to work on

ifs and irs are terrible for four wheel drives. you want straight axles and nothing else. i always laugh at the yota lovers that claim they have the best out of the box 4x4 even after they do their front axle swap to get rid of their inferior ifs

The ride is the only thing that gets compromised by that so I'll just leave the ifs and irs in it and try to find a xj

my truck has 315's (35x12.5)

and i call BS on all terrains being better in snow

1st gen MTR/Guard Dog's are amazing in snow, both unpacked and packed. even do well on ice

Guard Dogs are considered a MT by treadwright but in reality they are a aggressive, probably the most aggressive AT there is! There isn't enough space between the lugs to consider it a MT. Soooo many people have said that. I forgot who did a review but they had them Moab and loved them, but consider them a aggressive AT.
My BFG At's loved snow, much more than my Pro comp mudders, ATs usually take to snow better though. I honestly don't think the Km2's are much of a mudder either, although better than a guard dog, they just aren't as aggressive is all!

Ya I should of worded that better..the Guard Dog is sold as a MT, but in reality because its tread pattern, and how close the lugs are, its considered a AT by most!

I'm stuck between the 31" warden (bfg allterrain style) and the 31" guard dog (mud Terrain). I want them to last a long time so I was looking at the wardens because the bfg all terrains are known for lasting forever, but the guard dogs look like they would be a good mud tire, which I go mudding and trail riding occasionally. I'm on a highschool budget though so does anyone have any opinions on which tire might last me longer?
