Default Coils or leafs???

Im going dana 44's front and rear on the ZR2. Front leafs would be easier, but coils give a better ride. Im really leaning toward leafs too, because for the simplicity of them, they seem to work good off road. But I do 30-50 000 km a year on road and only 500-1000km off road. For the on road the coils would give me a better ride.

What you guys think, or prefer???

Leafs are definatly easier to put under there , Its pretty much gonna rely on your fab ability. 3/4link is harder to get right but provides a better ride. Ive always ran leafs , but Im about to do 4 link and coils in the rear to eliminate my wheel hop issues.

The fab wont be an issue. A few guys that are used to and good at building rigs want to help out. Plus I have a shop and all the tools. Every time I go out they ask me when can they put a dana under my truck...lol
