Re: wuold cheeper to use leaf springs to tubb

Body style doesn't provide enough room for leaf springs plus it's a step backwards in suspension technology.

It's better to go with a coil over design if you plan on tubbing the car. It will also require doing a back half. Doing a mini tub, the stock suspension will still work.
