    Ok, so then flex is not an issue for you then leafs would be fine, there is coil trucks on 37's but leafs would probably work better for what you're wanting to do. And good thing going with 60's if you're going to be hard on it with mudding.

    I'd personally run Coil springs. First off, they're gonna be cheaper than leaf springs (A LOT), 2nd, if you DO end up doing trails/rocks, you have the flex you need, and 3rd...that dana 44 axle I was talking about already has coil mounts on it. You would need to do a lot of fabbing to run leaves.

    Oh and 4th like teamexplorer said, steering is soooo much easier with coils.

    And I'd be down to help w/ an SAS...I have it pretty much down to a science.

    **** aint cheap

    $300 axle/radius arms
    $250 new brakes, bushings, balljoints, etc.
    $300 for steering setup
    $250 for coils
    etc etc etc... I could go on and on. And dont forget gears, install kits, lockers, etc.
