OK...so when running the coil sprung front is it "easier" to control your lift?


No, I don't think so... look at Mark's (lil_uzi) blue Amigo as an example of yet another daily-driven SUA front SAS. He's as low as any coil-sprung truck I have seen.

I think we're generalizing too much, here, and veering away from what I see is the truth: the design and build-up of an SAS has way more to do with the ultimate height and off-highway/on-highway performance than any of the components. Leaf, coil, or coil-over; full-width or stock-width, sky-high or sleeper, low, these all contribute, but the sum of these parts can vary dramatically based on the geometry, height, and compromises elected by the builder. I've seen poor-handling, IMHO overly-tall coil-sprung trucks, and good-handling leaf-sprung trucks that look close to stock height... and just to throw a further wrench into the mix, I have also driven a truck that is taller than I liked but handled quite well on leaf springs! There are just so many variables, it is hard to generalize.
