Have to agree with that one!! a well setup leaf front end smack a cruddy patrol 3 link front end for flex. At a recent ramp day my middy was only 20mm behind a lifted 80 series! was happy with that considering my rear end hardly moves at the moment, should be better once the 3-4'' springs go in! leaves are where its at for simple and effective!

hold on here, i never said the leaf is better than, or as good as, the coil, i just said the leaf can flex very well.
they both have their downsides for off road.

I have posted it before but not with the new 39.5" rubber. And show some leaf spring critics what the old school setups can achieve with some tweaking.  the ramp is 1400 mm high and its at the top.

There from Venezuela... Most 70's are with poison  there.
For your information, Venezuela is the bigest market of off road pruducts in sout america. Then come Chile and Argentina. That says a lot of the poeple who lives there, they have the off road in the blood.
