It sounds as if only the coils on Troy's rig have successfully kept his rig as a daily driver, without some other serious mods (Ie engine/tranny/xfercases)

huh? there are many successful daily driven leaf SAS's as well (many pictured at the beginning of this thread). Troy just happens to be one of the few (only?) coil sprung SAS. IMO, the same results are achievable whether you choose coil or leaf.

Troy is hardly the only coil sprung SAS'd Isuzu out there. And, he'll be the first to tell you that it didn't come out right the first time. He had a few issues with lack of flex and instability on the road which I think he remedied by re-designing his radius arms and re-vamping his track bar mounts respectively. It's been much the same to varying degrees for the rest of us too. I think as expected, it's the flexiest, coil-over SAS'd trucks that are the least suited for daily driving.

And, I gotta echo what Rob said. A well handling daily driver SAS has far more to do with research, attention to detail and some level of compromise between max off-road performance and decent on-road handling than with what kind of springs are used.
