Leaf Springs Pros and Cons If you are considering using leaf springs then there are a few
things worth considering before you make the change, things that are mostly
situational and specific to your own requirements.

help you identify whether these springs are a viable option for you, based on

Often, damping is a vital aspect of any car. This is because
under-damped suspensions will likely lead to the car bouncing around for a
considerable amount of time after hitting a pothole or other bump in the road.
However, leaf springs
handle vehicle damping much better, to a degree where bumps in the road have
little to no effect on the vehicle.
Structurally simple and low costing, the leaf spring is an obvious
choice for quality build and smooth driving experiences. Best applied to
vehicles such as:
Trucks Buses Sport Utility Vehicles Vans Pickups
The
Disadvantages Perhaps the most blatant downside to this particular spring is how
awkward they can be when it comes to suspension tuning. As well as this, the
friction between each leaf can have a detrimental effect on the ride comfort of
the vehicle they are installed on.
Over time and depending on how much use the springs get; they can
start to sag and lose their shape. This can alter the cross weight of the
vehicle and negatively affect the handling, as well as having possible effects
on the axle-to-mount angle.
