Leaf springs are more progressive in the spring rate while coils are linear. Depending on design, leaf springs tend to increase spring rate as they compress = more load carrying capacity. Coil spring rate stays the same through their travel = more compliant ride. __________________ Richard 1972 K10 Custom Deluxe SWB Fleetside My build https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=800746
