Re: 2wd vs 4wd rear suspension question

4wd more of a work truck? Leafs were an option on the 2wd. 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.
