hello, i am about ready to buy a full width 8.8 and d44 from a local junkyard. i plan to have them both regeared at 4.88 and run 35's. i plan to do a soa with blocks on the rear and do leaf springs on the front. has anyone done a leafspring conversion? i wanted to know what mounts are used and what kind of leaf springs, also, if any measurements are available, that would be greatly appreciated. i am choosing to do leaf springs because it is a lot cheaper. does anyone know if they ride better or worse or about the same as coil springs?
