leafs are easy, thats why almost all the people doing SAS swaps are using leafs. coil overs are ideal, but are alot more expensive and more fabricating. I would just do leafs, it will be soo much easier.

well if you're handy at welding and fabricating, then go with the coils, if you know the basics then stick to the leafs, simple decision buddy

man, to be honest. leafs vs coils is a HUGE difference. when i had my old jeep i had leafs all around, and when i left it 5.5" i changed the front to coils. amazing difference, dont get me wrong tho, leafs are definately cheaper and you will definatly be able to tell the way it drives. with coils and a good proper link set up it should drive smoother than stock. mine did anyways. i definately say take your time on this and spend the extra cash man. do something different and something that will be better.
