    Hi.

    I just don't like a rear leaf springs suspension - it is only the cause for replacement to coils suspension :) And I built it this way - coils, arms and lateral control link.

    I have over 1000 miles and still enjoy with new suspension. And I see only a bright side.

    the cost is 1000 USD less:
    - 30 usd for the arms;
    - 400 usd for the PROFENDER shocks and bumpstops;
    - 30 usd for the coils;
    - 60 usd for the link;
    - 100 usd was a payment for the metall;
