[QUOTE="CrustyJeep, post: 797716, member: 15960"] Approach/departure angle. Leaf springs can bend easily when abused; they work OK as springs, but not as well for axle location. Leaf spring hangers and shackles are rock magnets; you can tuck your link mounts up into the frame more easily than spring hangers. Leaf springs interfere with steering, so they must be mounted close together in the front, which diminishes side hill stability. :flipoff: But I do agree with you, leaf springs can work pretty damn well when you set them up right.
