@Bakerbrds haha bakerbirds wins...and im insulted to hear 4runners are less capable aparently...i guess all those magazines and competitions and internet articles are wrong eh?
@hjaltigto I absolutely agree with your statement, even though you're a jackass and just copied that from ehow (dot) com (after google searching "leafs versus coils.") And you generalization that trucks with leaf springs are not "REAL" offroad trucks is a half brained statement.
@Bakerbrds Since these leafspring attach at fixed points on the chassis, they give very little room for adjustability of suspension geometry.
These springs also flex a great deal less than coil springs, resulting in a loss of wheel-to-ground contact under extreme conditions.
For heavy, industrial or budget-limited , leaf springs will usually do an acceptable job . However, there are very few applications which will benefit from leafs over coils where performance is concerned.
@Bakerbrds Coil spring suspensions offer more range of suspension movement, and allow the user a wider tuning envelope through the suspension range. Practically all high performance trucks use coil springs. Coil spring suspensions also usually perform better, having better engineered geometry than leafs.
@hjaltigto lol thats why i spend most of my time off road pulling out my mates jeep and land cruiser :P

@hjaltigto then tell me how you classify "real" offroad trucks from "fake" offroad trucks?

@Bakerbrds not really

@hjaltigto so the truth is "REAL offroad trucks do not have leafsprings?" Do you not realize how stupid you sound?
