[QUOTE="Fouledplugs, post: 425229, member: 18666"] Leafs ride a rougher. They are meant to hold their arch especially if arched like a SUA lift spring. They provide a harsh ride if I am being fully transparent. If you had the choice, stick to TJ’s and LJ’s. The YJ is dead simple though when it comes to building it. You dont have some of the suspension geomtrkes to factor in like anti squat and link separation that you find in the TJ/LJ/JK/JL world. Having a longer wheelbase and putting a flatter spring over the axle really helps with soaking up the road bumps/events. Some leaf spring guys will run really high end shocks and even bypasses with leafs to build something that can provide a smoother ride as well as more articulation. I have yet to ride in something on leafs with very high end shocks. But would love to have that kind of opportunity. Coming off your last TJ build, you know for a fact that shocks and shock placement can be pivotal in ride quality.
