Re: Rear suspension
The trick to leaves isn't the number of springs but the thickness. 10 thin leaves will ride better than 4 thick ones and flex better while still holding wieght capacity. Really the only spring that needs to be thick is the main if you are needing a higher capacity load in the bed. A way around that is two long springs to make up the main then taper the rest. Leaves can ride really nice and have a ton of flex if setup correctly or can ride like a backboard.
Swapping springs from another vehicle is always viable. Dont forget the foreign mini trucks. I think that they ride a little better than the domestic ones.
