coilovers are good for jumping nad racing, but leafs are cheap. It all depends on how heavy your foot is

well it would be heavier with the coilovers my back can't quite take the pounding it takes from the leafs if i go any faster than i am already and i got plenty of funds for all this new stuff for my truck i just don't know about pulling people out ive never seen a coil over truck pull anybody out

i think the one of the best upgrades you could do is a good suspension coilovers or not just have to figure out the best setup for your driving style
