As I said before I believe leaf springs were mainly a cost saving thing. You will be surprised at what a auto manufacturer will do to save a few bucks. I remember seeing brand new trucks coming into the dealership with rusty spindles, balancers, an other parts just to save a little paint. I thought it was pretty cheap of them to be able to open a hood of a brand new truck and see rusty parts with no paint. I even had to rattle can a few trucks before the customer would buy them. I believe I remember chevy going back to coil springs around 2011 but I don't think it lasted long,$$.
