As I said in the other thread, I feel coils will do better.
Coils are easier to get big flex for sure but that comes with added complexity to how the axels are located.
Leaf springs can be made to flex quite well while maintaining a simple suspension system.

I have been finding it more difficult to get leafs set up properly. Lack of adjustability, and mine is turning out to "hard" in the front by the time I found something that could carry the weight.
BUT...
For a real coil vs leaf discussion, this thread is going to to be off topic.

I am looking for a pic taken a Donkerpoort where the Ranger flexed touching the top of its mud guard.

But this very old pic needs to do for now.

Grips, is that a military wrap spring pack? I find my ends bind up bad. Causes the me to have very arriculation. But the spring inverts under compression which looks suspect.
