well I get that. I’m just wondering why not use the same setup across the board (Tbars vs springs)? All that’s different is the front driveline.

I’m sure there is a technical reason because it’d be easier to just now throw in the CV half axles and transfer case and build the rest of the truck to the same specs as it’s 4x4 brother.

The 4wd ones have no room for coils on the control arms, so that's out. I agree though that t-bars on all models seems to make more mfg cost sense, less parts to deal with, just maybe another t-bar part number with different spring rate.

The only way I know of for there to be spring suspension on the front in if you have a solid axle or such. There is no room on the front end of the 4x4 models. I personally prefer a coil spring suspension, but it is nice how easy it is to give a small lift.
