ALCAN rear leaf conversion

ALCAN has a new option to convert the 4G rear coils to leafs. Rumor is around $2,000 with leafs!

 

Let me be the first to ask, why? I thought the rear springs were much better compared to the old leaf style? I’m not an off-roader so is this better for rear articulation for off road?

 

This is good for carrying heavy loads.

 

Red!!?

 

I actually like the red on them. But as mentioned above about swapping to leafs for heavier loads, I’d think about stronger rear springs first before altering the truck with the leaf spring assembly. I can see for a work truck constantly hauling equipment would need something extra for sure.

 

Personally, I prefer leaves over coils on a moderate to heavy overland rig. 10:1

YMMV.
