I thought about bags and my conclusion was that it wouldnt be possible (at least without a lot of custom fab work) to have bags in the front since I will be using a solid axle. And I am not too sure about having 2 different types of suspension, bags or coils in the rear and leafs in the front. On newer 4x4s usually its reversed, front would have struts and rear would have leafs.

I would love to have IFS and IRS but at least for now I am sticking with leaf springs.

On a side note, the plural of leaf is leaves, but does that apply to leaf springs as well? I like leafs better
